Optimization for APFS rotational drives is not yet possible with the current amount of APFS documentation provided by Apple, which currently provides insufficieant documentation for defragmenting a disk.” Solid state drives do not benefit from defragmentation, which only serves to wear out those drives sooner. **Note: Defragmenting (Optimizing) is not suppoted for APFS volumes, and is not advised for any drive with a Solid State component. In most cases, data recovery is not possible on Solid State Drives (SSDs). For best results, enable TechTool Protection before data loss. '†Note: Data Recovery may not recover data in all circumstances. On Micromat’s main page it states at the bottom: That said, similar issues arose on another ListServ I belong to and I made the following (lightly edited) comment there: My experience is only as a computer user who has used various tools, including TTPro, Disk Warrior and Drive Genus, over the years to manage issues with rotational hard drives. This is definitely a ymmv comment regarding this and I am arguably a neophyte when it comes to the underpinnings of disk corruption and repair. #1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD.#1660: OS updates for sports and security, Drobo in bankruptcy, why TidBITS doesn't cover rumors.#1661: Mimestream app for Gmail, auto-post WordPress headlines to Twitter and Mastodon, My Photo Stream shutting down.It’s lasted this long because it does what it promises.

Install the Protection system preference and have it monitor your system in the background.

It has TechTool Pro already installed ready to run, and you can even add other programs. Yes, if your OS was installed properly you have the hidden Recovery HD, but Micromat’s eDrive does more if your boot drive goes missing. One of the biggies is the Emergency Startup Disk. (Ditto.) The way I look at it, if I never need it, it’s cheap insurance. (Subset of Murphy’s Law.) The recovery program will be the one you put off buying. Paranoid? Who, me? The one backup you really need is the one you won’t have.

I can only speak for myself, but I like to have diagnostic/repair software handy before doing any upgrades/updates. No word yet on when Disk Warrior will be ready. TechTool Pro is already running with developer versions of the coming Mavericks operating system.

Cost - $99.99, but if you have a previous version you can update for $39.99. Micromat released TechTool Pro 7 in June of this year. It has been nearly two years since any updates were released for Disk Warrior. While Apple’s Disk Utility can handle some disk corruption problems, I tend to fall back on two commercial apps, Disk Warrior and Micromat’s TechTool Pro.
