Drobos are proprietary devices and due to the way they store and manipulate data on multiple physical drives, Drive Genius cannot safely manipulate that same data. (10.6.5+ only)Drobo devices are officially not supported for most tools. UFS volume support has been removed as Apple is moving away from supporting UFS.ExFAT volume support. The system startup volume can now be defragmented without the need of a DVD or alternate startup volume ("live" defrag).DrivePulse™ verifies the preference files of the logged in user and the global preferences located on the startup volume.DrivePulse™ displays visual error and warning status hints in its menu.Up to one month of DrivePulse™ event history can be browsed.Repartition offers the option to add HFSX volumes. Other than to check for regular updates, there are virtually no other preferences though.ĭrive Genius is an elegant and comprehensive maintenance tool that should be able to eliminate those bad sectors that have been causing your Mac grief.
Those using slower machines may have problems with the animated menu but you can deactivate it via preferences. There is little to fault with Drive Genius. There's nothing complicated about executing each task either - just select the drive you want to scan along the left hand side and click Start. Each of the functions such as Defrag, Benchtestand Scan animate when you select them. Drive Genius has an animated user interface that's a little like cycling through albums in iTunes. That's also accompanied by one of the best interfaces I've seen on a maintenance program for the Mac since the arrival of MacKeeper. What attracts most users to Drive Genius is the fact that it's one of the few Mac utilities that will physically scan for bad sectors.
