Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2011 Suite

Paragon’s hard drive management suite
includes some basic functionality
that would be useful for newbies (drive
backup, defragment, etc.), but it’s really
aimed at techies. Paragon Hard Disk
Manager 2011 Suite includes a library
of drive-related utilities, some simple and
straightforward and some complex and
potentially dangerous in the hands of
a neophyte.
Obviously, the suite will handle all
the day-to-day stuff: You can back up
selected files, a specific partition, or an
entire drive; wipe or defrag a drive; create
recovery discs; and clone a drive or a specified
partition. This is all stuff that other utilities
handle pretty well; the advantage here is that
Paragon has gathered all of the tools in one
place and provided an elegant UI that makes
them accessible and easy to use.
But Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2011
Suite also provides some more advanced
functionality. Unless you’re a reseller or
technician, you’ll rarely need these tools, but
when you need them, you really need them.
The advanced tools include sophisticated
features, including tools that let you create,
format, delete, undelete, hide, or unhide
a partition; label a partition as active or
inactive; change drive letters or labels; and
convert file systems. You can also merge
partitions to consolidate disk space, or
redistribute a volume’s free space.
There’s also a migration tool that can
move Windows from a regular hard drive
to an SSD (even one of a smaller capacity
than the source drive), and a P2P Adjust
option that lets you plug an OS drive
from another system into a PC and
adjust that drive’s OS to the new hardware;
thus, you can quickly and easily migrate
both a drive’s OS and its other data.
If you occasionally find yourself with
complex drive-management needs,
Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2011 Suite
can help you address them.
