Also, I think the reason why Micromat still has those features included with Tech Tool Pro is that there are still a number of folks that have traditional HDDS as internal drives. Third, yes, it is not good (in fact "bad") to optimize/defragment SSDs). And to me it is worth it, as I depend upon Tech Tool Pro (along with Onyx and SuperDuper!). Yes, Micromat is the only company out of those 3 that charger for the upgrade, but based on what I read, it was worth it.

As it is, Micromat, Shirt Pocket Software (developers of SuperDuper!, and Bombich Software (developers of Carbon Copy Cloner) needed to devote significant time and resources to come up with fully functional High Sierra compatibility.

Secondly, I know quite a number of folks complained to Micromat about having to pay another upgrade fee to upgrade from V9.6 to V9.6.1, and while I can somewhat understand such "gripes", to me it was justified.
#TECHTOOL PRO 9.6 FULL VERSION MAC OS#
I cannot say about issues with external HDDs formatted as Mac OS Extended, so maybe someone else can "chime in" about such an environment. Except for a minor "glitch" with Quicken 2007, all of my software functions fine (I am not including my browsers Google Chrome, Opera, and Firefox, as they tend not to depend on the OS).
I actually have a good amount of third party software on both machines: VLC, Transmission, Quicken 2007, Quicken 2017, Onyx, Tech Tool Pro, Office 2016 (actually only Outlook 2016, Word 2016, and Excel 2016), SuperDuper!, AppCleaner, GrandPerspective, Malwarebytes (not all the time "active"), TrashIt!, GrandPerspective, etc. Of course, I make a concerted effort to keep both of my Macs "lean, mean, and clean", and this includes keeping all of my software up to date.
#TECHTOOL PRO 9.6 FULL VERSION TV#
For both of my external devices (512 gig Samsung 850 Pro SSDs), there are 3 partitions on each: two of the partitions, formatted as APFS, are for the SuperDuper! backups for each of my Macs, and the third partitioned, formatted as MacOS Extended, contains "other stuff" (like past tax returns, photos, movies, TV series, etc.). As expected, the two internal SSDs are formatted as APFS. I'd like to make some comments.įirst, regarding High Sierra, except for it being slow at starting up either of my Macs (faster on my mid 2017 13" Mac Book Air than on my late 2012 Mac Mini both have internal SSDs), or switching from one startup "device" to another, I am having no issues at all with High Sierra. Thank you for the kind words, and also an accurate description of "things". And being the curmudgeon I've turned into, I never let ANY drive get more than 75-80% full.Īll that said, perhaps you can expand on your original reply since I'm always interested in your point-of-view.

He told me it's much more important to keep no less than 10-12% of the drive's capacity free so that Apple's disk management routines have more elbow room with which to work. I used to religiously defrag my HDDs until a tech support guru at OWC told me that I may have shortened the life of some of my drives by engaging in that practice. That said, I don't know why they keep that feature included in all the TTP versions they've released over the last dozen years or so. And far as SSDs are concerned, MicroMat tech support people (and from Other World Computing) have told me that any kind of optimization with a SSD is actually contraindicated. From everything I've read over the last couple of years, this isn't necessary for anyone running a Mac running a G3, G4 or later with a convention HDD.
One feature they've touted for years has been file and disk optimization. And they've added a way to check your Internet connection speed, which I can already do by accessing my DSL modem through my web browser. I mean, have any of the now-useful features in 9.5.3 been improved upon? I read the e-mail they sent me and went to their website, and naturally, they were touting the new version (9.6) as being the next-best thing to the Second Coming, which any company will do when marketing a new or "improved" product.įrom what I can see, they've simply added a RAM checking feature, which I already have in a separate MicroMat product called ATOMIC. I just wasn't sure if I needed this upgrade. I've been using TTP since Version 2 and have kept it upgraded.
