After thorough examination of hard drive repair and maintenance tools available for Mac OS X, I ended up purchasing Drive Genius. It was an easy choice:  First of all I know from my experiences with MediaTools Professional, that Prosoft Engineering provides quality products. Secondly, and most importantly, Drive Genius was the only tool that...

• has both HFS recovery *and* defragmenting tools
• comes on an instantly downloadable, burn-yourself ready-to-boot DVD image
• is very reasonably priced

As with MediaTools Professional, I'm very satisfied with Drive Genius. Thanks for another great product!

Cheers!
