Drive Genius 3 Review: The best choice to keep your Mac in shape In this occasion we are presenting you the most powerful Mac hard drive utility, the best way to keep it as fast as new! Yes, we all know that Mac computers have the best performance of the market, but even they are susceptible to losing it after some time without proper maintenance. I've been a happy user of Drive Genius since 3.1.2 when I bought it as a part of the MacUpdate Promo 2012 Spring Bundle! Later upgraded to version 4 for $49, now again to version 5.0 for $49 (Malware scan, APFS support, updated BootWell) I was well happy with the product in general – all the various features worked well for me the past.
Available only on Mac computers that have the Apple T2 Security Chip, Startup Security Utility offers three features to help secure your Mac against unauthorized access: Firmware password protection, Secure Boot, and External Boot.

Use a firmware password to prevent anyone who doesn't have the password from starting up from a disk other than your designated startup disk. To set a firmware password, click Turn On Firmware Password, then follow the onscreen instructions. Learn more about firmware passwords.
You can also use External Boot to prevent even those who know the firmware password from starting up from external media.
Secure Boot

Use this feature to make sure that your Mac starts up only from a legitimate, trusted operating system. Stat 18 0 – git integration with finder problems. Learn more about Secure Boot.
External Boot
Use this feature to control whether your Mac can start up from an external hard drive, thumb drive, or other external media. The default and most secure setting is ”Disallow booting from external media.” When this setting is selected, your Mac can't be made to start up from any external media:
- Startup Disk preferences displays a message that your security settings do not allow this Mac to use an external startup disk.
- Startup Manager allows you to select an external startup disk, but doing so causes your Mac to restart to a message that your security settings do not allow this Mac to use an external startup disk. You'll then have the option to restart from your current startup disk or select another startup disk.

To allow your Mac to use an external startup disk:
- Open Startup Security Utility.
- Select ”Allow booting from external media.”
Your Mac doesn't support booting from network volumes, whether or not you allow booting from external media. - If you want to select an external startup disk before restarting your Mac, quit Startup Security Utility, then choose Apple menu > Startup Disk.
