What is the most popular feature of Drive Genius 2?
Drive Genius's most popular feature is disk defrag. It has the ability to optimize the drive, by putting all pieces of the file together that over time have become fragmented and spread in various locations across the drive. It then combines all the empty free space together into one contiguous block. This in turn improves the overall speed and performance of the drive.
What is the difference between Drive Genius 2 and Data Rescue II?
Drive Genius 2 is a disk utility that features a wide array of features including; directory repair, repartition on-the-fly, device/volume cloning, integrity testing, benchmarking, secure erase and several other tools to help maintain your hard drive. Data Rescue II is emergency hard drive recovery software. It is used to recover data from a crashed, corrupted or unmountable hard drive. It also has the ability to recover deleted files.
How often should I defrag my hard drive?
Depending on the size of files you typically work with... every 2 months or so. If you are working with smaller files (Microsoft. Office, emails) we would recommend running defrag every 3 to 4 months.
I thought OS X automatically optimized the hard drive?
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 optimize the drive, by putting all pieces of the file together that over time have become fragmented and spread in various locations across the drive. It then combines all the empty free space together into one contiguous block. This in turns improves the overall speed and performance of the drive. Drive Genius 2 is also used at Apple's Genius Bar in their Apple ProCare program for this primary feature.
Can I really repartition my hard drive without losing any data?
Drive Genius 2 is 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.
Why do I need a bootable DVD?
The bootable DVD allows you to boot directly from the DVD, so you can work directly on your main boot drive. You can run it as an application to work on other internal or external hard drives.
