Software Reviews of Techtool Pro 5
Customer Review: Good for my Mac
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used TechTools since Version 2 and have never regretted spending the money. However, Version 5.0.0 had problems. Now that the release is up to 5.0.6, I am again very happy with this product. I have multiple Macs and will have this product on all soon.
If you use this as recommended (from another disk or with an e-drive) it is easy to fix problems that occurs over time. The speed of checks and repairs has greatly improved. File and volume optimizations are painless and fast. The GUI is intuitive and easy to use.
I liked the graphic display of the volume optimization better in Version 4 but the display in version 5 is adequate. The hardware tools are good (maybe a little too flashy) and give me warm fuzzies about the health of my hardware. All in all worth the money invested over the years.
TechTools is not a substitute for backups and backup drives. For the cost of one license, you can buy a good 1Tb second drive and do wonders on the health of your data and greatly ease the process of disk maintenance. I highly recommend you buy a backup drive before you get TechTools.
