Tools

This functional domain contains various auxiliary functions that do not only apply to one specific application.

Disk Management


SpeedTest

The SpeedTest checks the reading speeds of the connected disks. Disk speeds can either be checked individually for single disks, or multiple disks can be read either individually or the total system throughput can be measured.

DiskView

A low-level Hexviewer to observe a disk on a sector-level. In the Professional Edition and up, this app is called DiskEdit.

DiskEdit

A low-level Hexeditor to view and edit a disk on a sector level.

DiskInfo

Reads hardware information from SATA disks, IDE disks and SSDs. The information is shown in a reader-friendly table.

DiskTrim

With SSDs and other disks with flash storage, it is possible to mark non-occupied storage areas. Those disks that support of this function can thereby optimize flash storage internally, which in most cases results in a significantly higher writing speed. With DiskTrim, complete disks or selected partitions can be deallocated as a whole.

Partitions


Partitioner

Use this tool to create and delete partitions on arbitrary disks. These partitions can be optionally automatically formatted. In addition, the partitioning scheme of disks can be altered.

Partition Expert
