![]() There are also utilities that can clean various OS and application cache files which will reclaim space, though as you begin using the computer again they will be rebuilt.Ĥ) along with having enough hard drive space is disk fragmentation which seems to be what you are concerned with. I left it for last because it is, generally, the last thing we Mac owners need to be concerned with. Unless your hard drive has become overly full or you deal with video or audio files which you load up the drive with and then delete later, you probably don't have much to worry about. The Mac defrags the hard drive pretty well on its own. However, if you think this is the issue that is causing your slowdown, the easiest way to fix it is with SuperDuper! (or carbon copy cloner) and a second hard drive. Both these programs perform file level bootable backups of the hard drive. Time to look into TechToolPro 13 to see what they can do.So as the files are copied to the secondary drive they are all laid down without fragmentation. They've got zero information about having a newer version being able to talk to APFS and the lack of tech support tells me they are either winding down the company or, lack the resources to be of any real help.Īnd considering that since DW can't talk to APFS volume directories it wouldn't surprise me if their sales have gone to near zero. ![]() I replied back that the response was, "lazy", and never heard back. I put in a support ticket just 2 days ago for a little "bug" of an issue the response I got back was nonsensical and brief, as if the person who sent the reply just didn't care or, didn't feel like troubleshooting the issue. To be clear, DW WILL RUN on Catalina, and it can still fix HFS+ directories (secondary or external drives) but it cannot even talk to APFS much less fix it. Ever since then (2017) Alsoft has not been able to make a version of DW that can talk to an APFS directory. It then uses a fail-safe method of replacing the damaged directory to ensure that interruptions such as power outages won't harm your data.įor years DW has been the ONLY app that could fix broken Mac OS directories - that is until APFS. DiskWarrior verifies your repaired directory to ensure it is error free.
