FWB DriveTest 1.0 is a very tractable and powerful program which is designed specially for OS X and Mac OS 9 users to effectively compare their hard drive performance to their needs. It contains a full suite of tests to help you gauge the performance of your drives and to verify the data transfers are error-free.
Use DriveTest to make sure the drive for your next high profile projectis fast enough to handle the data transfer, to select replacement drives for your company, or simply to see if you new drive can out-perform your friend's.
Major Features:
- Benchtest gives you the ability to compare to other drives as the test is being run. It ships with many sets of test data. BenchTest's test results can be exported either as a text file, which can be viewed and/or printed using a text editor such as SimpleText, or a JPEG file which you can easily post on-line or for print.
- Verify tests the overall integrity of the disk drive by transferring various block sizes to and from the drive. By reading, writing, and then comparing the read and write data, it tests the data integrity of the drive subsystem including the driver, the drive controller, the cabling, the drive?s motherboard, and the operating system.

hard contrast 3.0.0u brings a simple but versatile iMovie plug-in with the ability to make your clip use exactly two colors (called "left" and "right") that you can select yourself. each color is either one or the other. since you are totally free in picking your two colors, this effect can have some truly astonishing effects (try picking two similar colors, and set "left" low) as well as some predictable ("true" black and white).
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.2 or higher (Universal)
CipherDisk 2.0
CipherDisk - Driver level strong encryption for Mac OS X hard drives and devices more>>
Without your password, nobody can access your encrypted disk no matter what tools they use, or who they are. The only difference you will see in your disks is a password will be required to mount them (make them appear on your desktop). If you shut down the computer or put it into sleep mode, the encrypted disks are automatically hidden and made inaccessible until you launch CipherDisk and enter your password.
CipherDisk encryption methods were developed by publicly recognized world leading cryptography experts. It is secure enough to stop anyone from being able to access your data, making this tool suitable for anyone, from the home user wanting to keep a diary secret, to professionals wanting to ensure that their data will be kept private no matter what happens.
Because the encryption is volume based, no information about what is on your disks can be obtained. From your filenames down to what kind of documents your disks contain, it is all unknown without your password when CipherDisk is used.
Even with such features and the performance, CipherDisk is extremely straightforward to use. The whole operation can be completed with a few clicks.
Written specifically for Mac OS X, CipherDisk includes powerful features that give a user greater flexibility and control in copying devices and volumes:
Main features:
- Support for CD/DVD - CipherDisk can now create and burn password protected CDs and DVDs without the use of third party applications. These disks are fully encrypted and are as easy to use as a normal CD/DVD (except of course you have to know the password to use them).
- Support for Disk Images - CipherDisk can create and use disk images (also known as virtual volumes). Standard size images and dynamically resized images can be created simply. These disk images are a file on your disk until you "mount" them. Once mounted it operates as a normal disk
- Support for AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) - In our continuing effort to integrate the latest technologies we have added AES to the encryption methods.
- Easy-to-use interface simplifies the encryption process to a few clicks.
- Transparent operation using low level drivers.
Drive 10 1.1.5
Drive 10 can scan your drives and repair problems related to the numerous structures that are necessary for the volume to operate correctly more>> Drive 10 can scan your drives and repair problems related to the numerous structures that are necessary for the volume to operate correctly. If problems are found, Drive 10 can often repair these problems and bring your drive back to life in only a few minutes. When Drive 10 finds a problem, it will build a new set of volume structures instead of patching the old structures like other utilities do. This is the surest and safest method of recovering your valuable data.
Version 1.1.5 adds the following:
- Global updates to the application.
- Minor update for Japanese localization.
- Updates for full Mac OS 10.3.x compatibility.
- Updates to the Volume Structure validation and repair routines.
- Updates to the Optimization and Rebuild Volume Structure routines

FileGuard 4.1
FileGuard - Access control management for your Mac more>>
Heres what FileGuard offers you:
Macintosh access control
FileGuard limits computer access to the users registered by the administrator who can prevent them, for example, from inserting disks, copying applications, accessing the log files, protecting files or folders, ... FileGuard also keeps a user log with information of the users activity on the Macintosh.
Folder protection
FileGuard allows you to set access privileges to all your folders (including the System Folder). You can limit the access per User or/and per Group, create "write-protected" folders or set up a folder as a "drop folder", etc.
File protection
The file protection procedure is similar to saving and opening a normal document and does not in any way alter your work habits. Upon saving a new document, FileGuard gives you the option to password-protect it. The user can choose from a variety of industry-standard encryption formats such as D.E.S., Triple D.E.S., IDEA(TM), ...
Encryption is performed automatically when you quit your application. You can also encrypt a document manually using the Protect File command.
Opening protected documents is just as easy and automatic. When you double-click an encrypted document, FileGuard asks for your password, decrypts the file and automatically launches the appropriate application. The document is automatically reencrypted when you quit the application. For each protected file, FileGuard keeps a complete log of all operations performed, including creator & owner name, date/time of creation, total use time, attempts at unauthorized access, etc.
Hard disk protection
The hard disk protection of FileGuard prevents unauthorized access and/or intentional copying or erasure of a hard disk. No-one will be able to start your Mac from another System disk or with extensions disabled, without supplying the proper volume password.
Application protection
FileGuard offers both password and copy protection of all applications on your hard drive. If you choose password protection, the protected application can run on another disk with the right password even if FileGuard is not installed. If you choose copy protection, the protected application will run only on your hard drive.
File shredding
The file shredding option of FileGuard allows you to shred your files upon emptying the Trash. In this way, no one will be able to recover your confidential files, even when using utilities especially designed to recover deleted items.
