disk utility
Storage maintenance software
A disk utility is software for managing computer storage drives—formatting, partitioning, repairing, or erasing disks.
Operating systems typically include a basic disk utility: I used Disk Utility to reformat the external drive.
The term covers both built-in tools and third-party applications for disk maintenance and recovery.
