Highlights. 64-Bit —Today's large disks can have large directories. Using the latest 64-bit technology allows DiskWarrior 5 to handle even the largest disks. Ships on a bootable flash drive to repair your startup disk — Flash drives start up much faster than DVDs and can be updated as needed.
Includes the new DiskWarrior Recovery Maker — New Macs have new OS X startup requirements. DiskWarrior Recovery Maker updates your DiskWarrior Recovery flash drive with the latest OS X.
Runs from OS X Recovery (Recovery HD) — In an emergency, you no longer need a separate startup disk to run DiskWarrior on your startup disk unless your startup disk has partition table damage. Repairs partition table damage — Sometimes the damage is to the map that describes all your drive's partitions which makes all your partitions unavailable. DiskWarrior 5 can repair standard Mac GUID partition tables when started from the DiskWarrior Recovery flash drive. New architecture — Updated to use the newest OS X technologies while still supporting older PowerPC and Intel Macs that can no longer run the latest OS X. Significantly faster — For many disks, directory rebuilding is twice as fast as the previous version.
Recovers more data from drives with hardware malfunctions — Recover your important files from most failing drives, possibly saving you thousands of dollars in professional recovery costs. Detects and repairs more disk problems than ever — The best is even better. New Directory Optimization Index — You can tell how efficient your directories are at a glance. Repairs Time Machine backup disks — Drives containing Time Machine back ups can have enormous directories that were often too large for DiskWarrior 4.
The 64-bit memory addressing of DiskWarrior 5 allows these drives to be repaired or recovered. System Requirements System Requirements DiskWarrior 5 supports any locally connected Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disk including Fusion Drives, RAID volumes, journaled disks, case-sensitive disks, FileVaults and Time Machine backups.
DiskWarrior 5 supports both PowerPC and Intel Macs started in OS X 10.5.8 through 10.13. Apple File System (APFS) disks are not currently supported. Supported Macs includes MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro. Supported OS includes Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6), OS X Lion (10.7), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), OS X Mavericks (10.9), OS X Yosemite (10.10), OS X El Capitan (10.11), macOS Sierra (10.12) and macOS High Sierra (10.13). Supported ports includes SATA, eSATA, USB, USB 3, USB 3.1, USB-A, USB-C, FireWire and Thunderbolt. Supported Files Systems includes Mac OS Standard (HFS), Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) with variations of Journaled, Case-Sensitive and Encrypted. FileVault 1 and FileVault 2 and supported, as is Core Storage.
Flash and SSD drives, internal and external drives are supported. Works with Recovery HD, Internet Recovery and Target Disk Mode. Support for all of the above is dependent on the hardware features of individual Mac models and the version of OS installed. Notes about 10.13 compatibility: DiskWarrior 5.0 is compatible with macOS 10.13 High Sierra. Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disks can be rebuilt as before. This includes Fusion and Time Machine disks. Apple File System (APFS) disks are not recognized by DiskWarrior 5.0 and will not appear in the list of disks.
Startup Disk Repair Requirements DiskWarrior now ships on a bootable flash drive instead of DVD. If you plan to rebuild the directory of your startup (built-in) disk, you need to start up from another disk capable of starting up in OS X 10.5.8 through 10.13, such as the DiskWarrior Recovery flash drive or your Mac's OS X Recovery (the Recovery HD). OS X Recovery is available in OS X 10.7 (Lion) and later.
The DiskWarrior Recovery flash drive ships with the ability to start up any Intel Mac that originally came with OS X 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 installed. If you have a newer Intel Mac, you can use the included DiskWarrior Recovery Maker to update the DiskWarrior Recovery flash drive to start up your newer Mac. Installation Requirements To install, you must be started from OS X 10.5.8 through 10.13 with at least 2 GB RAM. More RAM may be required for large directories. Additional Requirements If you plan to rebuild a Fusion Drive, you'll need to run DiskWarrior while started from OS X 10.8.2 or later. If you plan to rebuild a disk that is encrypted with FileVault 2, you'll need to run DiskWarrior while started from OS X 10.7 through 10.13.
Alternatively, you can decrypt the disk and then run DiskWarrior. If you wish to enable DiskWarrior's automatic hardware monitoring, you will need to install the DiskWarrior application on your Mac. To install the DiskWarrior application see the install requirements above.

Last thing I wanted to do was reformat, which appeared to be the only option. Disk Warrior fixed the directories and identified the corrupted files. Was quickly up and running. I would recommend this item to a friend! Customer Videos.

July 20, 2017 The Disk warrior was incredible, after over an hour on the phone with apple support and an hour waiting on Genius Bar at Apple store to review my mac problems and all they could tell me is that they needed to reload my software, hence lose all my data on my mac, I said to myself there has to be something out there. Then I found Disk Warrior! It was easy and simple to follow with just a little help from support on the phone I was up and running within a 1/2 hour, everything was good.
