The user interface is very Win-defragmenter-ish with it's colored-block display showing the hard-drive data image and a Color Key identifier which defines what each color represents on the disk. Later Tech Tool Pro for OS X gave offered it's Optimizer tool but until recently Mac users have never had a similar tool like Windows users did for defragging their systems.Įnter iDefrag from Coriolis Systems.

Mac OS 8 and 9 had 'Speed Disk' from Norton which in some iterations actually caused data corruption rather than giving an optimized hard-drive. It's unique block-graph display mesmerized many a user who intently watched as those small individual colored-blocks were moved around the screen eventually being grouped together in same-color 'cells' resulting in an optimized hard-drive. If you've ever used a Windows machine but have since converted to Mac and remember the 'good 'ol days' of Windows 95, 95, ME, and XP and you did your own hard-disk maintenance then you undoubtedly remember the built-in disk defragmenter.
