While once popular, Drive Genius is no longer actively developed or supported by Prosoft Engineering. This means it[SQ]s likely incompatible with newer versions of macOS and lacks security updates. Therefore, downloading and using Drive Genius is generally

not recommended

. Alternatives with ongoing support and compatibility are readily available.
