Resize Partitions On-The-Fly
VolumeWorks
VolumeWorks is the first OS X utility that enables a user to resize and manage partitions (volumes) on hard drives without destroying the data on the drive.
PC users have long been spoiled with partitioning utilities such as PartitionMagic that allow them to modify their drive partitions on-the-fly, without destroying their data. Now Mac OS X users can finally see what they have been missing.
VolumeWorks is extremely easy to use. In less that a few clicks, VolumeWorks will resize your partition to the size of your choice. Unlike traditional methods of backing up, erasing, and repartitioning the drive, VolumeWorks allows you to expand or shrink partitions without erasing them. VolumeWorks will even defragment the disk if necessary to allow for shrinking. You can use VolumeWorks to add and delete partitions from your hard drive. VolumeWorks includes many custom icons that can be automatically applied to your newly created partition.
Written specifically for Mac OS X, VolumeWorks includes powerful features that give a user greater flexibility and control in setting up and managing drive partitions:
- Resize Partitions On-the-Fly allows you to modify partitions on your drive without erasing them.
- Comprehensive Interface Support including ATA, SCSI, Firewire, and USB drives.
- Streamlined User Interface allowing most operations to be accomplished in a few clicks.
- Hide Partitions for temporarily putting partitions out of sight for privacy.
- Custom Icons provides a selection of icons for newly created partitions.
