Brief Hands-On Report--Micromat released TechTool Pro 4.6.1 for Leopard

Micromat released a Leopard-compatible update v4.6.1 to TechTool Pro, its disk maintenance utility. As a subscriber to Micromat's Annual Update Service, we received an email with a subscriber link to download the update.

We ran the installer and used it on our MiniMate 80 GB external FW400 hard drive on which we have cloned the internal drive of our 24" 2.8GHz aluminum iMac Core 2 Duo using SuperDuper! All went well using the Intermediate Suite of Tests, Directory Maintenance and Optimization. That drive had over 12,000 frags and now zero.

Then we booted the iMac with the MiniMate hard drive and ran TTP 4.6.1 on the iMac's internal drive. Again all went well. The defrag process takes less than a second per frag. The iMac HD had about 10,000 frags and now zero.

Everything seems to work fine. A good job by Micromat. [Dana Baggett]
