On the new “MacVoices” (http://www.macvoices.com), Gordon Bell, the general manager for Prosoft Engineering, talks about the latest version of their hard drive utility, Drive Genius 3.

The program has been updated to 64-bit, and Bell explains how that upgrade helps power the DrivePulse feature to keep you updated on the health of your drive. Disk optimization and defrag has also been enhanced, and he covers who this feature is most important for, as well as reviews what Drive Genius 3 does and does not do for solid state drives.

“MacVoices” is an Internet show and podcast that delivers in-depth discussions with the most influential people in the Mac industry, as well as “the individuals who are out there making it happen on the front lines of the global Apple community,” according to host Chuck Joiner.
