Maintain your OWC media at peak performance directly within OffShoot. The OWC integration provides three powerful maintenance tools — Health Check, Sanitize, and Firmware Updates — so your media cards remain fast, reliable, and production-ready.

Health Check

Use Check Health… to evaluate the current condition of your OWC media. and whether a memory card is healthy, should be used cautiously, or replaced.

Sanitize

Sanitizing keeps your cards performing at their best. It resets the NAND flash memory to a clean state, clearing internal mapping tables so data writes remain fast and consistent.

Sanitizing permanently erases all data on the card. This action cannot be undone.

During sanitization:

• The media will unmount.

• Once complete, it will remount with the card's original name.

• The card will be labeled as New and ready for use.

Firmware Updates

Use Update Firmware... to keep your OWC cards up to date directly within OffShoot.

Available in OffShoot 26.2 and newer.

During Firmware Updates:

• The media will unmount.

• Once complete, it will remount with the card's original name.

• The card will be labeled as New and ready for use.
