I'm curious to see how it does at that price. Disk Warrior was
always a one trick pony. It did what it did VERY well, but that was
all it did. It becomes hard to justify a $100 price in the face of
a tool that really would only need to be used on rare occasions.
Probably even less on Intel machines as those only run 10.4 and up
where Apple has journaling on by default, plus OS X automatically
runs fsck (think Disk First Aid) every time it boots. That means,
under 10.4 and beyond (assuming one did not turn off journaling),
the odds of having directory corruption bad enough that Disk
Warrior would have been needed to fix, starts to get much more remote.

Back in the days when I used OS9, now using X.4.5, I used to monthly
rebuild the Desktop and run Norton Disk Doctor to do necessary
repairs as it suggested as well as defrag the HD. Big performance
increase after that as well as picking more HD space.
Yesterday I tried to rebuild the Desktop in X but found out you
can't. Is this procedure no longer necessary in X?
Can I still use my old Norton Speed Disk utility to defrag my OS X
drive? Is disk fragmentation the issue that is was under OS9?
I have a G4 MDD and because it has space for 4 drives I just took out
the drive from my old dearly departed G3 and plunked it into the G4.
thanks
Garry
