Hi all
I keep hearing excellent things about DW - mainly in the context of crashed drives. Is there any point in having this software as a monitoring app - ie to check on the 'health' of a drive to pre-empt and prevent crashes?
I do have Drive Genius/Data Rescue, which have helped in one crash a few years ago (Data Rescue helped). I am an avid backer-upper, so data loss *shouldn't* be an issue....
Should I pick up a copy now, or wait until issues start occurring???
