Software Reviews of Micromat TechTool Pro 4 (Mac)
Customer Review: Works as advertised. I am very pleased with their new 5.02 update.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a reluctant "need to maintain this Mac" user. I am a webmaster for my church using iWeb. I looked at Disc Warrior and didn't understand the features offered. I tried the trial download and still didn't understand disc warrior.
After generating a "disc error" disc utility couldn't fix I frantically searched for a solution and found the tech tool version that came with my Appe Care Warranty.
Never could fix problem with that version. I bought the Pro version, at that time 4.6 and got it fixed in 5 minutes!
The new interface is much better when doing volume optimization. There is a graphic that lets you clearly see where you are in this lengthy process. It does take a long time to complete, but the performance of your machine will amaze you.
I used to take 45 Min. to an hr. to completely back up 141+ GB to a backup disc. After the optimization it takes 7 minutes!
You DO need to read their documentation. Get familiar with what they tell you before you start willy-nilly trying things.
This program is not meant for the highly networked Terabyte business. Again they tell you clearly what they can and can not do on what hardware, running which operating system versions. Excellent job Micromat.
Description of Micromat TechTool Pro 4 (Mac)
This is the eagerly anticipated Universal Binary version of TechTool Pro that will run on both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs. It fully supports the hardware changes introduced to the Macintosh platform with the introduction of the new MacIntel chipsets. All of the features of the program that were previously available for PowerPC based Macs are available for Intel-based Macs as well. This includes the innovative eDrive (emergency startup partition) feature of the program, found nowhere else. In addition to Universal Binary support, the new release will also include some significant program enhancements, including improved Disk Controller test routines. Unlike most application software, more than a simple re-compile of the program was required to support the new Intel-based Macs. Because TechTool Pro works with the computer hardware at the lowest levels, it was necessary for Micromat to completely re-engineer the software from the ground up. In order to support the new models, Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) is required to run the program.TechTool Pro ships on DVD for both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs. The DVD will automatically boot the correct system version.
No product comes close to TechTool Pro for ensuring that all of your hardware and software is operating at peak performance. No other software gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your valuable data is protected by the latest technology. With a single mouse click, TechTool Pro can automatically run a series of sophisticated tests that will troubleshoot almost any problem you are having with your Macintosh.
