The difference you will notice the most with version 4 is speed.
If your Mac is running Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier, DiskWarrior 2.1 is still available for purchase directly from Alsoft. Unfortunately, DiskWarrior 2.1 is no longer bundled on the DiskWarrior 4 CD, as it was up to and including DW 3.0.3. There are other refinements and improvements that make version 4 a desirable upgrade even if you’re still happily running a Power PC Mac. However, DW4 is more than just a MacIntel compatibility upgrade of DW3. DiskWarrior 4 is the first Universal Binary version of this software. The reason, of course, is Apple’s switch to Intel processors. Consequently, the release of DiskWarrior 4 only a couple of years after version 3 came on the scene is an extraordinarily fast upgrade turnaround for this product. The OS X native version 3 didn’t debut until 2004 (happily, DiskWarrior 2.1 worked just fine on OS X desks, albeit agonizingly slowly, until Apple terminated Classic bootability and directory format changes in OS 10.4 Tiger rendered DiskWarrior 2, and indeed the early versions of DiskWarrior 3 obsolete).
#Alsoft diskwarrior for mac for mac os
The original DiskWarrior for Mac OS Classic, first introduced in 1998, only ever made it to version 2.1. Is your ‘Book ailing? Apple computers and the Mac OS are pretty reliable, but once in a while even Macs can have problems, and when the issue is disk-related, the tool I turn to first (and usually last) is Alsoft’s superb disk diagnostic, maintenance, and repair utility, DiskWarrior.ĭiskWarrior, AlSoft Inc.’s flagship software product, acclaimed by many (including this writer) to be the hands-down best Mac OS disk maintenance utility, doesn’t get updated very often.
