There are so many things to choose from, but that Professional version may be a bit intimidating for a new user. In the images below, we show off a few of the options available for Hard Disk Management, Partition Management as well as a few of the 'Wizards' that are available to simplify and speed up your life. We have our main OS on this machine on a 160GB OCZ RevoDrive 3 and are going to be working with both 128GB SATA drives. In the image below, we are setting up to manage three different SSD drives. If you've used other hard disk management programs in the past, you'll notice that they all look similar in some regards. The Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Profession suite is nice and clean. We'll do a few basic tasks and see how they shape up and if I could recommend this to a person in need. We simply cannot cover everything it can do as it is very extensive in its support of many different types of hardware, images, virtual machines, file systems and more. In this article we'll cover some of the basic features of this suite. Going into this review, I had mixed feelings as I've had odd results with some other software at times. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try out some of the tools included with the Hard Disk Manager 12 Professional suite. Sometimes, this works like a charm with cheap (free) software, but other times it can be a pain in the backside. I recently upgraded a few PCs here at BCCHardware HQ South and needed to image the drives that came with the computers onto fast SSDs. Unfortunately, it fell by the wayside until recently. Quite a while ago, we were contacted regarding this software suite and I agreed. I've used a lot of different hard drive management programs over the years to help people out, and I've become familiar with Acronis, PowerQuest and Norton utilities over the years, but never actually have I used Paragon's software until recently. As a computer tech and hardware analyst, I use a lot of different utilities - some free and some paid, that help me with my job. It's been a long time since I have sat down and analyzed a piece of software for a review. Product: Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Professional
