Bothell WA,…Software Architects, Inc. announced its release of Version 2.6 of the popular Disk Drive TuneUp mass storage utility.
Disk Drive TuneUp now offers the Mac user the most comprehensive all-in-one utility solution available for fixed and removable storage devices. It is the only disk management utility that supports all disk drive protocols used in Mac OS systems: FireWire, USB, SCSI, ATAPI/ATA and hard disk drives.
The Disk Drive TuneUp gives Mac users the control, speed and reliability to get the best performance out of both fixed and removable media storage devices, including Zip™, Jaz™ and Magneto Optical (MO) drives. Three benefits in particular make Disk Drive TuneUp the best disk management product available for Mac users.
Speed: Multi-level Read Caching Product – "World’s Fastest" Read Performance
Equipped with a multi-level read caching feature, Disk Drive TuneUp allows you to overcome the I/O limitations of removable media drives, which typically have slower access and data transfer rates than hard disk drives. This is especially true for USB dependent devices but SCSI, ATA/ATAPI and even higher-speed FireWire peripherals can take advantage of Disk Drive TuneUp’s Rocketcache™ read caching technology. Select the cache size you want from the read ahead buffer, the dedicated RAM cache and the file-based "hard disk cache". All three work together to optimize your file access time.
Control: Easy Partitioning
There is no easier or more efficient way to organize your disk space than with Disk Drive TuneUp’s partitioning slider bar. Simply drag the partition flag across the slider bar to allocate support for HFS+, HFS (even on the same disk) or DOS FAT formats.
Reliability:
Disk Drive TuneUp has an outstanding record and a long list of satisfied customers. From disk drive manufacturers like Fujitsu and Melco to end-users all over the world, Disk Drive TuneUp is the most reliable Mac disk drive utility. Disk Drive TuneUp supports hundreds of media storage devices, including USB, FireWire, ATAPI, ATA and SCSI devices.
Other features include three levels of media testing enabling the user to predict and prevent data loss.
System Requirements
System 7.0.1 or higher (8.1 or higher for USB, 8.5 or higher for FireWire)
PowerMac
8 MB of free RAM
SCSI, ATAPI, ATA, USB or FireWire (IEEE 1394)
