Also, I read where using things like OnyX and similar tools can wear out the SSD faster. Is that true? Should I never use them or very sparingly?

I just looked at those reviews.

The negative reviews (I've posted comments on some) seem to fall into two categories:

1. "This software is stupid and worthless and broken because my hard drive had a mechanical failure and this software couldn't fix it!" Well, um, yes. No software can repair a drive that has physically failed.

2. "This software is stupid and worthless and broken because I tried to use it on a disk that was formatted for Windows computers and it said it couldn't do anything!" Well, um, yes. It's a Mac disk repair program. It only works on Mac-formatted drives.
