DiskGenius (PartitionGuru)

DiskGenius won't really make your machine's storage devices more intelligent, but it will help their user feel safer in a time when nothing is reliable anymore. This partition manager, although not looking as sharp as the competition, offers plenty of useful functions that can be used to make one's life easier when dealing with data stored on SSDs and HDDs.

This application is not just a partition manager that allows one to create or remove partitions as seen fit. Although it does this as well, DiskGenius includes other features that are equally important. For example, one can use this program for file recovery. It is also possible to create a backup file of a whole partition. If you're dealing with a partition full of issues, then you might consider the partition recovery option. All the functions are accurately labeled and placed in the top toolbar.

Such programs can also be used to view relevant information that's tied to your storage media and the way each contained partition has been created. You'll get information such as the registered capacity, used space and clusters, total number of sectors, the starting sector, and sector size, for example. This is just a little of the information you can get a hold of when using DiskGenius.

If you've got the time, why not conduct a data allocation analysis? It will give you an idea of how the data is spread on your storage drives. That's especially useful for individuals looking to understand the ways in which they can be more efficient in saving space. This program also features visual representations of each partition, letting you know how much space you've got left on each of them.

DiskGenius might look like another partition manager, and it very well could be seen as one, if it weren't for the extra features that have been added in order to give all users out there more peace of mind.
