Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 achieves the fastest recorded partitioning speed to date with its newly implemented storage technologies, which includes high-capacity SSDs. In addition, the communication between Paragon Hard Disk Manager and the Microsoft VSS service has been improved.

  • New Partitioning Engine – the fastest currently available, carries out all types of partitioning schemes, is compatible with all types of modern hard drives and high-capacity SSDs.
  • Supports UEFI installations of operating systems.
