Going into this review, I had mixed feelings as I've had odd results with some other software at times. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try out some of the tools included with the Hard Disk Manager 12 Professional suite. Sometimes, this works like a charm with cheap (free) software, but other times it can be a pain in the backside. I recently upgraded a few PCs here at BCCHardware HQ South and needed to image the drives that came with the computers onto fast SSDs. Unfortunately, it fell by the wayside until recently. Quite a while ago, we were contacted regarding this software suite and I agreed.

I've used a lot of different hard drive management programs over the years to help people out, and I've become familiar with Acronis, PowerQuest and Norton utilities over the years, but never actually have I used Paragon's software until recently. As a computer tech and hardware analyst, I use a lot of different utilities - some free and some paid, that help me with my job. It's been a long time since I have sat down and analyzed a piece of software for a review. Product: Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Professional
