If your startup disk stops working, and you need another startup disk, TechTool Pro’s eDrive steps in to help.
#TECHTOOL PRO 11 MAC OS#
In addition to native Mac drive formats, Mac OS Extended and APFS, Techtool Pro supports testing and repair of MS-DOS (FAT32) and ExFAT for Most drive problems, however, result from data being in the wrong place, and can be repaired using TechTool Pro’s Volume Rebuild tool. Sadly, if something is physically wrong with the drive, it will need to be backed up and replaced, but the sooner this type of damage is detected, the fewer files – like cherished memories and important personal documents – will be lost. So, it’s important to be able to test drives for problems and then repair them. Because data changes so frequently, it can sometimes get scrambled.
Your Mac’s hard drive, even if it is a Solid State Drive, is more likely to experience problems than any other component on your Mac. Customize any of these or create your own suite from scratch to test your Mac exactly as you would like. The Intermediate Suite leaves out the Surface Scan test to help save time, while the Quick Suite tests your Mac excluding your disks, for a quick look at the health of your Mac’s hardware.
#TECHTOOL PRO 11 FULL#
The Full Suite does what it sounds like, running every test and checking every drive. Use the built-in Full, Intermediate or Quick suites or make your own suite of tests to perfectly suit your needs. Using the new Check Computer Suites, you can set up a variety of test suites for your needs. Shipping now, this is the most feature-rich release of Techtool Pro ever. After many, many months of development, we’re proud to announce version 13 of the ultimate utility for Macintosh. Whether you’re a single user or you support many other Macintosh users at work, you’ll want to get the latest version of Techtool Pro. And other people may count on you to keep their own computers running at their best as well. Protection Preferences: If you want to grossly slow your Mac down and have TTP use up gobs of drive space, this "feature" is the way to do it.Your Macintosh counts on you to keep it running at its best. Bottom line, you don't need to do this manually at any time. For hard drives, the OS will automatically defrag files above a certain size if they need it. It doesn't matter how fragmented a file is on an SSD since every cell will read just as fast as it would if the pieces of data being read were all adjacent to each other. EVER! You will only succeed in wearing out the drive faster. You replace it.įile optimization (also normally referred to as defragmentation). Video memory? Same as their RAM test, since video memory is RAM (a faster type). If bad blocks are found, the drive automatically moves the data on those areas to good blocks and maps out the bad ones so they can't be used anymore. The surface scan part of it (for rotating hard drives) is already done automatically and continuously by the drive's own firmware.
If disk errors are found, run Disk Utility. If there is a rare issue with RAM, the only repair possible is to replace it. Rebuilding system caches isn't something that needs to be done on any type of schedule.ĭiagnostics and Repair: And we're back to restart with the D key. Take control of your Mac: The Mac will clean reports and other aspects of the Mac itself.
The chances you will ever have a bad stick to even find errors on are very low.
RAM is also far more reliable that a decade or more ago. Restart and hold down the D key.Īdvanced Memory Testing: Again. Take It With You: So you can punish someone else's Mac?Ĭomplete Hardware Testing: Each Mac has its own built-in hardware test. If it isn't trash, don't put it in the trash to start with. The simple trick though to avoid the need for such an app is the same as your real trash can at home. Nice if you don't mind watching your drive's space slowly fill to the brim with "deleted" files that are still on the drive. In other words, the data is never actually deleted. If you empty the trash, TTP redirects the contents of the trash to a hidden folder. Protect Important Data: Okay, slightly useful. Mac Drive Testing and Repair: That's one of the things Disk Utility does.Įmergency Startup Disk: Disk Utility can create a clone startup disk. Internet Speed: There are many web sites that will speed test your Internet connection for free. Here's the "feature" list on their site, and why you don't need any of them. Tech Tool Pro doesn't really do much of anything useful that you can't already do without it.
