Program to check SSD health on OS X??

Can anyone recommend a program to check the health of a SSD in OS X??  I tried looking for one that is comparable to SSDLife (which only works on Windows) but I seem to be drawing a blank.
Many thanks!!

Check out DriveDx: http://binaryfruit.com/drivedx . It displays SSD Lifetime Left indicator, overall health rating, performance rating and many other useful information about your SSD. Nice UI.

  • To have great read/write performance, do you have to save all programs onto the SSD or can you save programs onto the HDD?

    if I want to use the fast read/write speeds of my SSD, do I have to save the programs (Final Cut Pro X, Adobe After Effects, Microsoft Powerpoint, Steam, Counter-Strike, etc)  onto the SSD? Or can I save all programs onto a 2nd drive which would be a HDD  and still have fast speeds WITHOUT storing those programs onto the SSD? My 2012 mid Macbook Pro has a SSD as its main bootup drive and will be getting a 2tb HDD to replace the optical drive.
    Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated,
    Thank you!

  • Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : Firefox has stopped working - close the program and check online for a solution - or - close ..

    Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : "Firefox has stopped working" - "close the program and check online for a solution" - or - "close the program" this happens TWICE every time I try to start firefox. Eventually after a random number of tries firefox will start normaly. I am useing firefox 19.0.2 now bit I belive it started when I upgraded to firefox 18 but am not sure, it might have been when I upgraded to firefox 19 ... but it has been happening for a very long time and I cannot find any helpfule solutions online.
    I have tried a Clean reinstall but it did not help.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • F-58 Print Program for Check Printing

    Hi Guys,
    Have some questions here:
    1) How to locate the print program for F-58 on the Check? We can configure the form by payment method but can't seem to find the print program like other FI correspondences.
    2) Can i ignore the check printing and just print payment advice (if any) after posting via F-58?
    Anyone has done this before?
    Please advice.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Andrew

    Hi
    I think I could understand your requirement. There is no special PRINT PROGRAM FOR Payment Advice.
    There is Print program for check printing : RFFOUS_C
    along with above print program Payment Advice and Payment summary will be printed.
    check tcode: OBVCU, here we assign the print program.
    and Form will be assigned in tcode: OBVU
    or in last case do payment with out any print and create payment advice manually in tcode: FBE1
    any questions revert back please
    Regards

  • Abap programe 'AUTHORIZATION-CHECK'

    What is abap programe 'AUTHORIZATION-CHECK' how can i navigate there

    Hi,
    You can navigate to the Code this way
    1)
    SE93> Display>Double click in the Entry corresponding to Program-->then you enter the Source Code here select find and give the search string as
    "Authority-Check" this displays you whatever entries are there in the code.
    This method is useful if you know the Tcode and want to see what check statemetns are there in ABAP code corresponding to it.
    2)On the other hand if you know the program then go to
    SE38> enter the program name> Select Source Code> Press Display>
    and from there search with the string mentioned above justlike the case mentioned above...
    Hope this helps

  • ABAP programming extended Check

    Hi
    Why do we do ABAP program Extended Check?
    Thank You

    it is necessary for Complete check of the ABAP source text for all statically recognizable errors.Programs with errors in the extended program check can be executed, but usually result in an exceeption.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/d1/801afd454211d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
    Error situation during execution of an ABAP program. Exceptions are treatable (statements TRY, CATCH) or untreatable.
    Untreated exceptions result in a runtime error. An exception is triggered either by the ABAP runtime environment due to error situations that are not foreseeable by the static program check, or by the RAISE EXCEPTION statement.

  • Using programs off old SSD on new MPro HD

    I am in graphics and have the new vader pro. I am installing fresh adobe programs, but I am wondering if when I move over my old startup drive from the old Mac Pro (it's an SSD), if I can just run mail, stickies, address book and itunes off of the old ssd.
    First will it allow it (I dont' see why not). Next, will all my data and prefs still be there. I hate the hassle of setting up these as new, on the new HD, when half the time I am unable to get the old data or prefs from before. The SSD will be connected though a thurderbolt doc, so it should still be pretty speedy. Itunes is actually on the ssd but all the music is on another regular HD, but will also be in the new thunderbolt doc.
    If it does work, I know the itunes on the Pro will keep looking for updates (even though I will never launch the program from that drive). But can I update the other itunes program on the SSD?
    Also, shoud I just delete those programs from the Pro HD, or just not ever launch them?
    I know that the migration and other methods of getting all my data and prefs on the new computer is supposed to work, but it rarely has for me.

    Keep all the applications where they belong - on the system boot drive.
    Use Carbon Copy Cloner for that along with Migration or Setup Assistant. It may not have worked for you, or it could have been issues with Lion and MA for instance.
    Locate your home folder on a traditional hdd.  No change even though it is on TB or USB3 interface. 
    250GB Samsung 840 EVO $160 or 500GB for $330 - because of adobe plugins and such your boot drive will be used a lot for scratch/cache even if you have another scratch volume - t he old SSD would be better use for scratch.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4337
    http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-move-the-home-folder-in-os-x-and-why/
    Now I see what  you were trying to say but didn't read or edit: you ordered a new Late 2013 Mac Pro 6,1 with just the .... stock small 256GB SSD? (those are fast and I would get what you can afford, upgrades will be possible later seems 200% certain).

  • I have an Apple MacBook on which Lion 10.7, plus all updates, are successfully installed.  Can you tell me if TechTool Deluxe, normally supplied with Apple here has been now tested and found to run successfully?  I have run the program to check a problem

    I have an Apple MacBook on which Lion 10.7, plus all updates, are successfully installed.
    Can you tell me if TechTool Deluxe, normally supplied with Apple here has been now tested and found to run successfully?
    I have run the program to check a problem that I'm having. The particularly with video, and also volume structure. TEchTool Delux reports a failure for both of these components.
    I am wondering if this is realistic or not, given the start-up screen for TechTool Delux mentions on start-up that it has yet to be tested fully with Lion?
    With thanks, Ron.

    Yes, I understand, however, he Macbook is out of its Applecare, but the TechTool it still on the machine. Does that entitle me to an upgrade in TechTool?
    I suspect not, hoever, seeing I am running Lion, I am not sure at all? If you can answer this question it will help as then Imight be able to solve the problem I'm having.
    Best regards, Ron

  • Small program that checks every minute if a file exists...

    Hi,
    I am an experienced JSP programmer and now I have to do something different and I have no clue how to do it and even what keywords to search for.
    I need to make a small Java program that checks from time to time (every minute) if a file exists and if so performs some tasks.
    I would appreciate most of all some keywords to search for. I don't what this kind of program is called. I have no problem with the code that checks the existence of the file etc. Some code would be also appreciated.
    I just don't know how to check that every minute.
    Thank you very much!

    For the once-per-minute part, you'll want java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask, or else just a loop with a Thread.sleep call in it.
    For the file, assuming it's on the local file system where the program will run, you'll want the java.io.File class.
    If you're not familiar with Java, you'll definitely need a tutorial. There are links to some under Resources for Beginners at http://www.thejword.com/3.html#beginner_resources

  • Program extended check

    what is the program extended check?

    Use
    You use this function to perform static checks, which are too time consuming for the normal syntax check. The extended program check returns both errors and warnings and it is possible to run either individual specialized tests or one whole standard check.
    Procedure
          1.      You access the extended program check by means of transaction SLIN. You can also choose Program ® Check ® Extended program check.
    The system displays a list of possible check options. By default, all of them are selected. For detailed information about a particular option, position the cursor on it and choose F1.
    Note
    The extended program check takes considerably longer time than other checks but it uses a buffer and the process speeds up after the first run.
          2.      Select any options you need.
    For each option you have selected, the system displays an overview of the number of errors, warnings, and messages.
    Note
    Only the especially critical warnings are displayed before the standard check.
           3.      Choose an entry to display the corresponding detail screen.
    From that screen you can jump to the appropriate point in the program and correct the error.
