We also added a fantastic new RAM test that can find problems which no other utility can; and we also improved many of the testing, repair, and maintenance routines.
New Memory Test. We've taken almost 2 years to develop one of the most advanced memory tests in the industry. As part of the RAM test, we've also added a fantastic SPD report that shows you an enormous amount of technical and other interesting information about your computer's memory.
Improved Tests. Besides the Memory test, we've improved many of the existing tests in TechTool Pro 7 to run more efficiently and to find and repair more problems than the previous version. We've also greatly improved our volume optimization feature.
Drive Testing and Repair. Your Mac's hard drive, even if it is a Solid State Drive, is more likely to experience problems than any other component on your Mac. Because data changes so frequently, it can sometimes get scrambled. Most drive problems, however, result from data being in the wrong place, and can be repaired using Techtool Pro’s Volume Rebuild tool.
Emergency Startup Disk. If your startup disk stops working, and you need another startup disk, Techtool Pro’s eDrive steps in to help. The eDrive is what you’ll use to test, rebuild or defragment your main hard drive, but it is really helpful if your main startup disk goes missing. The eDrive gives you quick access to Techtool Pro along with several handy Apple utilities, and you can even add other programs if you like.
Protect Important Data. The best way to prevent data loss is to be prepared. In addition to a backup, Techtool Pro includes Techtool Protection, which keeps an eye on your trash, allowing you to undelete that file you didn’t mean to delete. You can also back up your directory structures, the ‘map’ of where your data lives, so that if you need to recover data from a corrupt drive, Techtool Pro’s Data Recovery tool will know exactly where to look. Better yet, use Techtool Pro’s Volume Cloning tool to create an additional backup.

Functionally not a lot different as others say, but having the utility and being able to examine details of file and volume structure that "OSX just takes care of" and "fragmentation isn't a problem any longer"is comforting.
Haven't yet made use of eDrive but noting that my 200GB main partition only has a largest free space of 400MB indicates that a lot of file chopping will be done daily that is unnecessary CPU and disk overheads.
That is the value of a tool that can identify and raise user awareness. The lowest rating I have given is value for money, but that's because I can knowing what I'd paid in the past. I have plenty of other free/ shareware utilities that I use so not churlish enough to not want a professional tool from time to time, especially when on a next model machine and OS.

eDrive won't work if you have a Bootcamp volume on your startup disc - i.e. most laptop users with Bootcamp.

I have many boot volumes on the same drive on my MacBook, so maybe you can use the EFI to boot eDrive too.

But anyone upgrading anything should check the merits, not do so blindly at any time.
Nothing special about this one is any worse than other software IMHO.

I had problems in the past with Drive Genius screwing up my catalog instead of repairing it. I use it maybe twice a year to check fragmentation, but that's about all. Last time I checked, my SSD was 30% fragmented. Defragging SSDs is not recommended, so I don't. If I really needed to, I find it's faster and safer to clone from a backup than it is to defrag.
It's not even installed on my main partition, but is on my repair partition as a last resort. I never had any luck using it's re-partition tool.
I no longer have TTP installed at all.

Where can I download it?
Thanks!

I dont want any monitory in the background at all, so I turned everything off!
But it does ignore my will, and in the "Volume Usage" tab, it has changed from Off to On (monitoring free Disk space).
+70
ergo, the bug is in the Pref Pane itself.
--> The settings do not get saved OR it just ignores my will ;)

please correct the name:
This App is called "TechTool Pro 6"
--> the number is included in the name of the App

I reinstalled version 6.0.5 and the graphical representation shows correctly when running the Volume Optimization.

I could only fix the problem with DiskWarrior 4.3.
Note that version 5.0.7 was working correctly.

Can any one suggest an alternative application for disk recovery that when purchased can actually be downloaded from the developer for use?
