Resize partitions on the fly

Paragon Hard Disk Manager allows you to resize hard disk partitions on the fly to maximize available storage capacity.

Clean up media

When getting rid of an old computer, personal data should be wiped first. Hard Disk Manager makes this easy by securely and permanently destroying the data on the device. Alternatively, you can opt only to clean unused space (in which case deleted files can still be restored), while keeping useful data intact. You may be surprised to learn how much data leakage occurs from the negligence of this simple rule.

Live transfer your systems and data

Suppose you want to replace your old mechanical hard disk drive (HDD) with a fast new solid-state drive (SSD). With Hard Disk Manager (HDM), you choose where you want Windows to be, and it is ready to run. You can even continue working on your system while Windows is being relocated! No manual operations or reboots are necessary – switch over when ready.
