![]() The sole exception is for volume recovery, a feature not offered in Disk Utility or fsck. Apple’s tools remain the only serious options for APFS. As a result, several vendors have announced their intended support for APFS, but as far as I am aware at present, only limited functions are available in third party products at present. This has changed with the arrival of Apple File System, APFS, largely because Apple has still failed to provide sufficiently detailed documentation to enable third parties to develop their own utilities to maintain or repair APFS volumes. Many Mac users have successfully recovered damaged disks which Disk Utility or fsck have declared were unrepairable, which tools like Drive Genius and DiskWarrior have been able to repair. ![]() Although they’ve been reasonably useful and reliable for much of the history of the Mac Extended or HFS+ file system, third-party tools have often outperformed Apple’s. ![]() Bundled disk checking and repair tools have something of a chequered history.
