Drive Scope 2.0.2
Drive Scope is like having a full-time Macintosh technician watching over your computer’s hard drives at all times. It keeps an eye on the drive health and warns you if it finds any indicators that your drives might fail soon. Utilizing your drives’ internal self-monitoring, analysis and reporting technology (SMART) status, it can often detect minor problems before they become major ones.
By warning you early about potentially pending drive failures, Drive Scope gives you the chance to back up your files and important data before they are lost forever.
The all-new Drive Scope 2 can now run in the background and check the health of your hard drives automatically. And there’s no need to be a tech expert to make it work—just set it up once and it will do its job quietly in the background.
Save money and avoid data loss with the best early-warning system that money can buy, while you gain peace of mind in knowing that your data is safe with Drive Scope.
New in Drive Scope 2!
- Continuous Health Monitoring
Drive Scope 2 introduces continuous SMART health monitoring for all supported disks. Enabling monitoring starts a background process which keeps tabs on the health of your drives, and will notify you if a drive starts to fail. - Drive health at your fingertips
Along with continuous monitoring, you can check in on your drives from Drive Scope’s new menu bar item at any time. The menu provides at-a-glance access to the SMART health of all supported drives connected to your Mac. - Apple Silicon Support
Leave Rosetta behind. Drive Scope 2 now includes full Apple Silicon support. This includes an updated SAT SMART driver so that your Apple Silicon (and Intel) Mac can see SMART health data for supported USB connected SSDs*. - Glance for peace of mind
Even easier, add a Drive Scope widget to keep your Drives’ health status front-and-center. Sonoma users can add the widget to the Mac desktop to keep a constant eye on drive health.
