Complete package for Mac Maintenance and optimization

Today the world is digital, computers are becoming our basic need. But, in this era of modern technology we shouldn't forget that these digital devices are after all machines, and as such, they have certain life period.

So, we could not avoid maintenance of our computer or machine. A regular maintenance will increase the life of your machine but when the proper maintenance is not carried out, the life expectancy shortens considerably. Here I will talk about Mac hard drive and its maintenance. 
 
Keep Maintenance of your Mac drive:
There are lists of Mac maintenance tasks you can do to maintain its performance and keep it running smoothly as the day one. So, here are few tasks to be performed for drive maintenance and optimization:

Drive defragmentation - When files are updated, they often grow their original storage space. Actually the computer will fragment the files into parts and instead of moving the entire file to a new location, it places these fragments in noncontiguous manner. In Mac, it is done by Mac Journaled file system i.e HFS+. So, when the file is called up, processor searches the files and related pieces scattered in drive. This adds unnecessary wear on the drives read/write heads. Def-ragging arranges all those fragments in order to optimize operations.

Getting rid of unused files: - Unused files can either be deleted or relocated in some other external drive. Large media files, such as video, movies or pictures, takes lot of space. So, if they are not necessary, user can delete them. Otherwise you can have another option of relocating the files in archived or on external media. This will opens an option of allowing you access to these files if you need, as well as it keeps them from consuming space on drive. 
 
Handling with care - If you don't want to go data lab for emergency data recovery, users must handle their machines with care. Laptops are particularly susceptible to any abuse. Dropping these machines damages the internal delicate components of drive. However, solid-state drives(SSD) are sturdy, but heat, electrical intensification and other abuses can damage these as well.

Prepare for your Mac drive crash:
The first and most important thing a computer user should perform is to prepare for his drive crash or corruption. It is must to have some arrangements in-order to protect your precious data. So, make an effective backup plan is crucial for data protection. Additionally, you can make boo-table clone of Mac drive or recovery HD also, using some third-party utility.

Removing Junk File Types:
Improve Mac performance by Clearing up all clutters from Mac drive like cache, duplicate files, unused applications, undesirable log information and language support files and universal binaries. All these files are said to be junk files or clutters, removing them is a necessity for optimizing Mac performance.

Now, the good news is that you don't need to buy many sepatare software for cloning, defragmentation, clean up Mac, disk wipe, data encryption, volume repair etc, because there is an all-in-one complete utility for optimizing your Mac drive. This utility is Stellar Drive Tool box having a bundle of 12 utilities. This is a complete package for optimizing entire Mac performance.
