"Easy to use, but corrupted many of my files" March 08, 2015  |  By frekri  |  Version: Paragon ExtFS for Windows 2.0.395
Pros
Easy to install and setup.

Cons
This software corrupted many of my files on my ext4 file system when I copied files from NTFS to ext4.

So use it to try a copy from NTFS to ext4 and see if anything breaks.
