Feature:
- Disk defrag - optimizes the drive, then combines all the empty free space together into one contiguous block. This in turn improves the overall speed and performance of the drive
- Directory repair, repartition on-the-fly, device/volume cloning, integrity testing, benchmarking, secure erase and several other tools to help maintain your hard drive
- Your hard drive should be defragged every 2 months or so. If you are working with smaller files (Microsoft Office, emails) you should run defrag every 3 to 4 months
- OS X only optimizes files under 20MB. It also only optimizes the files not the drive, so even though the smaller files are optimized there can be empty space in between the files themselves. Drive Genius 2 has the ability to optimize the drive, by putting all pieces of the file together
- Able to repartition your hard drive 'on-the-fly' (no need to reformat the hard drive) allowing you to add, delete, hide or expand partitions live.
Product Description:
Is your Mac running slower? You probably need to defrag your drive. Although OS X optimizes the files in the Mac, it doesn't optimize the drive itself. Drive Genius 2 has the ability to defrag, directory repair and repartition on-the-fly. This is the same product used by Apple at the Genius Bar to defrag your drive (Part of the ProCare program offered by Apple). This software makes hard drive maintenance tasks painless, fast and easy. So prevent disaster by using Drive Genius 2 to maintain your computer.

Customer Reviews:
 Exonerated! Balancing the Bashing- read on..., 2008-11-20
There WERE boot problems with some Intel Mac models running newer Leopard versions when Drive Genius 2 was first released, caused by Apple's footdragging and their delayed release of required startup parameters. However, all other Drive Genius 2 features were and are functional. Prosoft Engineering was head and shoulders above other utility software vendors (who shall remain unnamed) in their response to the fix with the release of v2.0.3. (Don't get me started on the Santa Rosa outfit that always pre-sells its next cure-all version and takes a year to deliver. They are at it again, right now.) Then in September 2008, v2.1 was released with many improvements and the addition of DriveSlim(tm), a clutter finding and eliminating feature. Drive Genius 2.1 is a stable, mature utility that is continually being improved and in nearly all cases, updates at no additional cost to users. Prosoft Engineering is responsive, supportive and comsumer positive. Drive Genius 2.1 is indeed the best product of its type available.
