Cons Hay que hecharle mano a entender su uso,no es algo difícil pero tiene su estudio previo.El precio es salado para el mercado,pero lo vale.

Pros Despite the name the software works across all data storage and has tools to complete any task a normal user would wish to. There's no need to use anything else with HDM15. Cons It offers enough features that it can be a little daunting for inexperienced users, but that shouldn't put you off.

IT Technician Information Technology and Services ### "Good offline backups except when something goes wrong" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 December 14, 2019 I was trying to backup a drive with several bad sectors I did not know about. After 30 minutes and only being ~40% complete on a 80 gb backup I figured out something wasnt right. It never prompted that it was failing to read or offered to skip a bad file. Pros Fast backups. Easy to use. Excellent boot recovery options. Options for baremetal recovery (but I have not had the opportunity to use them) Cons Does not handle drives with bad sectors well. When you want to backup available data skipping bad sectors to simply recover what you can this is not the best software for that.

Grad Student Higher Education ### "Paragon HDM is professional software, for the professionals!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 October 30, 2019 Paragon's Hard Disk Manager does exactly what the software title implies. You can us it to perform almost any task that software is able to accomplish involving your data storage devices, from backups to partitioning, cloning your SSD, SSHD, or HDD, even moving your OS to a new drive. The software has options help you recover in the future if needed, like create a recovery drive so if your system crashes you can easily use Windows PE to get going again, or Paragon to look at files and copy them to a spare hard drive in situations where the data is there but Windows cannot access it suddenly - an issue that can happen from time to time, especially if you are using Windows Insider Preview builds, it is beta software after all... Paragon's Hard Disk Manager is reliable and efficient, with everything under one hood instead of needing multiple apps to. There are wizards to help the user accomplish many of the tasks the software is capable of performing. It is difficult to navigate the GUI though and do things manually, as it uses jargon understood by experts and even proprietary names for some processes. Important!! The Hard Disk Manager software line is professional software, for the professionals. If you don't know what you are doing, don't risk losing all your data or making Windows unbootable. Instead, try out any decent free software like AOMEI or Minitool, or install HDM on a PC you can let crash, and learn before installing Paragon's utility on a main system. Pros Flawlessly transfers Windows to a new drive, wizards are pre-populated with the settings you'll likely want, but still allows you to change variables to match non-standard parameters. Most anything you could want software to do for your storage drives, Paragon Hard Disk Manager will do and do it reliably and efficiently. Cons ...but only if you can figure out how to make it do what you want. Difficult to understand terms, cluttered GUI. Expensive, when there are other software options to do the same thing more or less, many of which are free.
