Micromat TechTool Pro 4 (Mac) review:4 stars (Really - Quite Good!) - I've been using TechTools utilities (including Drive 10) for years. I have always found TechTools to be a great utility product for the Mac. TechTools Pro 4 (4.0.6) meets that standard. Easy to use, a beautify interface, and fast. It was fab for routine maintenance including opt-ing drives. The eDrive (which is a relatively new feature) was a bit confusing, but once I ogt a handle on its function and purpose, it was a breeze. Since I have a small hard drive (only 40 G), I elected to install the eDrive on a separate USB Iomega mini-drive. It worked great and I feel comfortable with the fact that I have a separate start up drive when the ultimate harm (a crashed drive) strikes.
To conclude, I would recommend this product.1 stars (Not Ready For Prime Time) - Completely hosed the 250 GB HD on my new 20" iMac. Drive had to be replaced by Apple.
Takes forever to boot from the CD and the fan operates at an extremely high rate. Tests seem to take forever to run and resulted in a drive that wouldn't mount and couldn't be reformatted, S.M.A.R.T. reported the drive damaged.
It is a shame as I have used the product in the past and found it to effective and reliable.
Currently, I am using Prosoft's Drive Genius which has fewer features, but seems much more reliable.1 stars (Steer clear) - I wish I had read these reviews before buying Techtool Pro. It seems rather like a defective product. I had a drive that wouldn't mount, and TTP recognized it, and acted like it could recover it, but when I switched from "Drive" mode to "Volume" mode, the drive was no longer visible to the software, so it wouldn't perform any tests.
(In Drive mode, the problem drive passed all the hardware tests multiple times)
I executed the data recovery routine (which took literally all night to run on my 40GB drive, and it found 700+ arbitrary recoverable files from the thousands I had on the drive. It didn't retain the filenames, so it was a crapshoot when recovering any of them (most were superfluous utilities and Word docs, rather than my important files).
If you have a defective drive, put your money toward a new drive, rather than this gamble.
