Re: [L-OT] Re: [LUG] [OT] Tiger - Disk Warrior or Techtool Pro?

2005-06-18 by TazmnianDv@aol.com

There was a comparison of the various disk utilities in one of the magazines 
about 4 months ago. It seems each does slightly different things. Overall, 
Diskwarrior was one of the higher rated but not the only show in town.

There is also DriveGenius which does defragging and other stuff. I bought it 
and used it but found it slow in its initial release. They updated it since 
then.

Diskwarrior is fine, but in all honesty its not entirely clear that it really 
helps. It does help in cases like if you yank a firewire cable without 
ejecting, and it trashes your directory. that happened to me, and DW recreated the 
diretctory and saved the disk. I run it every so often "just to be sure".
