However the above issues suggest that I should remain with Sierra for the time being. I don’t know if High Sierra will make much difference to what passes for my workflow but Mohave might. In other words, I am statistically due for grief soon. I have to say that I have never, yet, had to use Time Machine to restore files, never had any serious drive problems that required Diskwarrior repair, and never needed to make significant use of the clone other than to boot from it to run Diskwarrior on the startup disk. I think I have understood from this research that in installing High SierraĪ) my Time Machine external drive will not be upgraded to APFS,ī) the SSD part of the Fusion drive will be left as HFS+ while the rest of it converts to APFS (although there is supposedly an Apple announcement due “soon†about this),Ĭ) my routine Carbon Copy Cloner cloning and Time Machine backup strategy may, right now, be compromised by somewhat confusing information from Apple, CCC’s developer and others on the consequences of the upgrade, and finallyĭ) Diskwarrior will not, right now, repair/rebuild APFS volumes.

Your standard post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.I have a late 2013 Fusion drive iMac running Sierra and was, until spending a distressing amount of time on Google, about to upgrade to High Sierra in preparation for Mohave in the Autumn (er, Fall!). Why? Because he had never had a problem like that before he took glucosamine, ergo, the glucosamine must be to blame. He blames the glucosamine that he took for a bout a week several months earlier.
Then, about 6 months later, he had a bad flareup of his arthritis. He tried glucosamine for about a week and didn’t think it was doing anything. I paid for 9.0, 9.5, and 9.6 (which was really just a beta to try to achieve file system compatibility with High Sierra).Īs for Techtool corrupting your drive – I assume you had some symptoms before running it? This reminds me of a friend who claimed that his arthritis was caused by glucosamine. Even still, if they really want a subscription plan, they should just do a subscription plan, and NOT charge $100 at the start and then $20 every six months thereafter.Īlso, these are NOT major upgrades.
Well, if it were only once per year, I might not mind quite as much, but if you read my OP you will see that it’s closer to every 6 months now. It’s almost like the third party disk utilities create a situation (unintentionally) that is technically correct (file trees, maps, whatever) but that some bug in the macOS file system trips over.
In contrast, on my current 13" MBP with solid state drive, I haven’t run any maintenance apps on it, and I’ve not had any problems at all. A reformat and reinstall is the only solution. Twenty bucks a year would be a very fair subscription price.Ĭan’t think of the other random thought now.īut, here’s my question: are the utilities like TechTool or Disk Doctor wise to use for “regular maintenance”? It seems to me in the past when I’ve used a utility to do regular maintenance on my hard drives, it’s not too long before I’m getting significant errors that utilities (including Apple’s Disk Utility) cannot seem to fix.

We all love free stuff, but it’s only fair we pay for something we use. First, I don’t have a problem with a $19.95 upgrade to a new version (whole number, not “.8”).
