Description
DiskFailure
DiskFailure is a handy tool for your Mac. It’s super important to check your disks regularly for any reading or writing errors. By doing this, you can spot issues before your drives completely fail. This minimalist Mac OS X app makes it easy to run those tests with a user-friendly interface.
Easy Access from Your Status Bar
Once you install DiskFailure, it places a small icon right in your status bar. Just click on that icon to open up the app's main window! Here, you can run diagnostics on your current device and see results for all Macs linked to your iCloud account (make sure iCloud is turned on).
View Device Results Effortlessly
The top section of the app shows you a list of detected devices along with their test results. Down at the bottom, you’ll find analyzed log files, monitored parameters, and any relevant drive events. It’s all laid out clearly so you can understand what’s happening.
Granting Access for Better Analysis
The first time you use DiskFailure, you'll need to give it access to the Apple System Logs folder where all those .asl files are stored. This allows DiskFailure to analyze logs and show any alerts, Growl notifications, or possible errors that pop up.
Your Data in the Cloud
If your Mac is connected to iCloud, DiskFailure will save the details there, making them accessible across all your devices. So no matter where you are or which Mac you're using, you'll always have the info at hand!
Regular Updates Without Disruption
You can refresh the analysis manually whenever you want. But if you keep DiskFailure in your status bar, it'll automatically check every two and a half minutes! Don’t worry about it slowing down your system—it only uses about 1% of CPU power and around 50 MB of RAM on a 2GHz Intel Core 2 iMac with 6GB RAM.
A Simple Solution for Disk Checks
DiskFailure offers an intuitive way to check for disk errors regularly. Since it doesn’t hog resources, you can let it run all day and just check in now and then for any error messages.
