Product Features
- Drive Genius 2 for Mac
- Disk defrag - optimizes the drive, then combines all the empty free space together into one contiguous block. This in turn improves the overall speed and performance of the drive
- Directory repair, repartition on-the-fly, device/volume cloning, integrity testing, benchmarking, secure erase and several other tools to help maintain your hard drive
- Your hard drive should be defragged every 2 months or so. If you are working with smaller files (Microsoft Office, emails) you should run defrag every 3 to 4 months
- OS X only optimizes files under 20MB. It also only optimizes the files not the drive, so even though the smaller files are optimized there can be empty space in between the files themselves. Drive Genius 2 has the ability to optimsize the drive, by putting all pieces of the file together
- Able to repartition your hard drive 'on-the-fly' (no need to reformat the hard drive) allowing you to add, delete, hide or expand partitions live

Is your Mac running slower? You probably need to defrag your drive. Although OS X optimizes the files in the Mac, it doesn't optimize the drive itself. Drive Genius 2 has the ability to defrag, directory repair and repartition on-the-fly. This is the same product used by Apple at the Genius Bar to defrag your drive (Part of the ProCare program offered by Apple). This software makes hard drive maintenance tasks painless, fast and easy. So prevent disaster by using Drive Genius 2 to maintain your computer.

This software is not cheap but you get what you pay for. Not only does it do all the tasks it says on the box, it does them efficiently and clearly with one of the simplest and clearest interfaces I have seen on a piece of software of this sophistication. If you thought you didn't need to defragment your Mac, Drive Genius II will prove you wrong and speed up your machine as a result. If you thought your hard drive was full, Drive Genius II will find spaces you never knew existed and give you a tidy lump of space back on your hard drive. The software is beautifully packaged, the online manual is easy and intuitive to use and, for anyone whose Mac is maybe getting a bit old, tired and full, this software will rejuvinate it. Highly recommended.

Unbeatable for editing, reformatting, erasing & defragmenting drives. Makes everything easy to a degree where Apple should take note - disk utility should be laid out like this. Mind you, if you only need to repair & defrag only, then buy Disk Warrior instead as that is the best at repair & optimisation. DW will spot & fix what DG & Disk Utility miss. This was the case on my machine. But I needed both software for what I did at Uni.
Macs are famously maintenance free as far as the user is concerned. But if you do want a tool that will keep everything in tip top shape then this is the product for you. It's marvellous. If offers a range of maintenance tasks in an easy to follow format, and I would not now be without it.
