macCompanion May 2005

This review of Drive Genius was originally slated for the April edition of macCompanion, but Prosoft released an updated version just a few days before the issue's deadline. Good for them, though, as it raised my rating.

  • Drive Genius 1.1
    Although Drive Genius is a single program, it contains a suite of functions that aim to provide disk maintenance and management. Those functions include: disk repair, defragmentation, duplication, repartitioning, sector editing, integrity checking, secure erasing, and benchtests.

Great review. If I actually was responsible enough to buy disk utilities, I would probably buy disk warrior, but this one sounds OK.

I still am a little annoyed with the lack of design skill shown on the macCompanion site. All my issues are a bit nit-picky, but frustrating for a magazine aimed at Mac users (who are supposed to appreciate design). The overall site design is way better than it used to be, but still way behind MacAddict, MacWorld, and other Macintosh magazines.
