Alternative to DiskWarrior 5.0 for macOS High Sierra?

Hi Guys,

As disk utility first aid can't solve an issue on a MBP I'm working on, can anyone suggest a "Safe" alternative to DiskWarrior 5.0 as it does not work... I have looked into it and found out that for macOS High Sierra, soon they will release a new recovery maker...

But in the meantime does anyone knows a way around it or another safe and performant DiskWarrior like App?

Thanks a bunch!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS10.13.3 Beta / SSD-i7-2.9GHz-16GB

I see no release information on Alsoft's site for v5.1. Someone down there slip you v5.1 in advance?

It's amazing. I've used Macs for 30+ years and never once had a need for programs such as DiskWarrior.

Are you sure it doesn't work with High Sierra?

I need to recover an external HD and I was thinking of getting Disk Warrior myself.

The page you linked says it all. If the external drive you are trying to recover is formatted as HFS+ you should be fine. If APFS, you have to wait for 5.1 or later.

Don't hold your breath. Alsoft is VERY slow in getting out updates. Do you have TechTool?
