Scannerz para Mac

Unfortunately not working with High Sierra - app also seems to have been abandoned by developer :-(

I found out about this here. I like it.

Very good at what it does. Don't let the design distract you, it is a powerful software package.

Scannerz is primarily about system and media scanning. It's probably the best in the world at this, at least commercially, but don't mistake it with other tools like TechTool Pro or Drive Genius, because it is NOT a work alike or discount version, it's totally different. Whereas TechTool Pro and Drive Genius come with a fair number of different items related to the drive, like defraying, the entire Scannerz package seems to be dedicated to troubleshooting problems. Scannerz comes with Phoenix, Performance Probe, and FSE or FSE-Lite. Scannerz itself is probably what most people use and it can outscan TechTool Pro or Drive Genius, and detect problems those two miss completely. It can detect bad sectors, weak sectors, failing I/O cables, drive timeouts, memory problems, system bust problems, and failure symptoms SMART won't detect. I've seen Scannerz drive through a failing drive that TechTool Pro and Drive Genius couldn't even get operating. Phoenix is NOT a carbon copy cloner equivalent and it isn't supposed to be. Phoenix's job is to create an emergency boot volume called a Phoenix Boot Volume and it can recover, using a procedure similar to file cloning, good data from a bad drive. It can, as advertised, to very basic cloning, at which point what it's really doing is performing a recovery on a good volume. Performance Probe is a performance measuring tool. I use this all the time because it shows the memory in a pie chart format that can tell you how much an application is eating up. It comes with a loading feature that can help filter out the most active processes in the system. THis tool is good to find applications that are hogging up all the system resources. FSE and FSE-Lite are file system event monitors. I got the version with FSE and it's different from the Lite version because it's configurable. I've Scannerz, Phoenix, and Performance Probe frequently, but I rarely end up using this. It's easy to forget what it does and that I even own it. What it can do is identify, via a log file, all or targeted file system events in the system like the name of the file being operated on, the process, the user ID, etc. and it's all in Unix like format. It has it's uses tracking stuff like when IconServicesAgent or MDS are over active, but aside from that i rarely use it. The tech support for this package, at least for me, has been quite excellent.

I used it few times seems like a great software. I see an update was released How do you update it? Thanks
