Drive Scope 2.0.4 for Mac Free Download
Drive Scope is an advanced SMART drive testing and health alert app.
Hard drives (and SSDs) are the most failure-prone components on your Mac. For this reason, drive manufacturers have built self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology (also known as SMART) directly into the drive. Most utilities struggle to capture this information, simply reporting the basics: pass or fail. Too often, when a general failure occurs, there isn’t enough time to retrieve important data from the drive. With Drive Scope, you can see the health of any drive connected to your Mac.
The solid-state drives (SSDs) Apple uses in its latest Mac computers use a new connection type called NVMe. Until now, no utility was available that could read the SMART attributes of these drives, including Apple’s Disk Utility. Starting with the latest update, version 1.1.1, Drive Scope can read data from these drives, providing access to your drive’s health data.
Building on the SMART check improvements in Techtool Pro, Drive Scope not only provides early warning when a drive is on the path to failure but also provides a deep dive into drive health. See which errors occurred and when, along with whether the errors are transient or indicative of a general failure. You can even manually run an internal drive test, providing instant access to up-to-date drive health information. With Drive Scope, you’re in control of your drive’s health.
