One test I was particularly impressed with was the S.M.A.R.T. You can also access each test individually from the Tests screen, to run it on an as-needed basis. You can cancel any individual test by clicking its X button.

The Check Computer test runs a full series of tests. It’s best to run such tests overnight, when you can leave the computer alone for a number of hours. Running the full suite of tests can be very time consuming, especially on systems with lots of files and folders the surface scan and file structure tests in particular are lengthy. An all-encompassing Check Computer test runs the full suite of tests, though you can disable individual portions of the suite quite easily-each task appears as a separate icon in the interface, with its own “x” button to cancel that task.

TechTool Pro’s test suite covers pretty much everything you’d ever want to test on your Mac. You can run all of the specified tests and tools at any time, even when not booted from the eDrive-you just can’t make repairs to your boot drive unless you boot from the eDrive (or a different drive) first, so it’s not active and can be unmounted. You can also rebuild a disk’s directory, defragment files, and consolidate free space on disks, securely erase files or free space, calibrate audio and video, repair permissions, and recover accidentally deleted files or those located on a damaged disk. You can use this booted system to try to repair the broken boot disk. The eDrive lets you reboot your machine-if your boot drive has died, or if you just want to do some work on it-to a special startup partition equipped with TechTool Pro 5 and a few system utilities.
