Maintaining your disc drive in good working order can be a complicated job, and one that usually calls for an entire library of utilities and applications. As luck would have it there’s a less complicated option: you could simply install Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2011 Suite.

The software is capable of creating, formating, deleting or undeleting, resizing or merging your selected partitions, for example. A straightforward set of backup tools let you do everything from backing up emails or selected files, to copy separate partitions or clone a whole hard drive. Additional modules assist with migrating to a new hard drive; installation and management of multiple operating systems on one computer; securely erasing a drive to get rid of private data; or defragmenting your files to increase performance.

Once you first start the program, for example, you are faced with an easy “Express Mode” menu that organizes the program’s functions into categories, such as “Partitioning”, “Backup and Recovery” and “Security and Optimization”. If you’re a newbie to Paragon’s software then this will aid you in finding your way around. (And if that’s not the case, you’ll be able to start the full program with a click as an alternative, and have total access to every advanced feature.)

And when you have picked out an option, the program will show a wizard to walk you through the process. These seem to be fairly well-designed, clearly explaining every step involved. And they will not make any changes to the harddrve till you expressly give permission (therefore you won’t find you’ve accidentally deleted something crucial by clicking “Next” once too often).

Hard Disk Manager 2011 Suite seems to do a very good job of seeing to it that you can prepare your drives to better accommodate your requirements, with the very minimum of risk to your data. Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2011 Suite makes up a great software package, with a neat user interface that’s quite simple to use.
