TOMQ I used to have strange problems, repairing my main disk drive not infrequently, often needing DiskWarrior to fix problems I was only using Disk Utility, DiskWarrior and SMARTReporter. Since using SMART Utility, I have been able to carefully monitor for Pending Bad Blocks and reallocated Bad Blocks discovering that these problems were occurring on my main hard drive. I replaced my harddrive under warranty and ALL PROBLEMS HAVE DISAPPEARED! There are no more Pending Bad Blocks, much less reallocated Bad Blocks, and all the strange problems have gone away. I almost never need to repair with Disk Utility or Disk Warrior. Monitoring my other computers to check for pending bad blocks and will replace any hard drive that has them. I'm a happy customer of SMART Utility. And, BTW, I have found the Support to be excellent. (Version 2.1) |
