Jettison For Mac Alternatives

I've got some fairly choice words for Apple on this. How something that has worked reliably for decades has been made dysfunctional in 2 versions so far is beyond me. I now have a combination of iCal scripts, Jettison, Mountain and SuperDuper to manage disk sleep and wake times as the iMac is always on. Basically ridiculous. In my top 5 was a menu bar app called Jettison, and I sang its virtues for letting me very quickly eject external drives and put my Mac to sleep in a single gesture. I was very enamored with Jettison but it has gotten flaky on me in that it won’t launch at login every time. The second DIP switch allows you to swap the location of the OS and Alt keys to match the Mac keyboard layout, if you prefer to do so on the keyboard rather than in the operating system settings. Engineers are racing to repair a failed piece of kit on NASA’s future deep-space crew capsule Orion forward of.

Jettison will check to see if your drives are still connected and will mount them back on the Desktop automatically.

Technical Wisdom

Q: Why do I need to eject hard drives before unplugging them?

A: You risk losing data if you don’t. macOS doesn’t write information to the drive immediately - it often caches it to make operations faster. If you unplug a drive without first ejecting it, macOS may not have a chance to actually write that data to the drive!


SD Card Drives
