The DiskShield Tab

You can turn DiskShield protection for all of your disks on or off. When it is off, file system op-
erations on your directory are performed by the Mac OS as usual. When you turn DiskShield pro-
tection on, all reads and writes to your directories are checked for validity, the copy of the 
directory on the disk is updated immediately when the copy of the directory the Mac OS caches
