Unlike Windows’ native Disk Management, HDM 15 Premium offers a full set of non-destructive partitioning tools:
Released during a time when high-capacity drives were becoming standard, HDM 15 Premium fully supports GPT (GUID Partition Table) drives and UEFI systems. This ensures compatibility with modern hardware configurations, including drives larger than 2TB, which older MBR-based managers struggled to handle.
The software is structured around four primary pillars:
| Feature | HDM 15 Premium | Standard HDM | |---------|----------------|---------------| | WinPE boot media | Yes (customizable) | No (Linux only) | | Hardware-independent restore | Yes | No | | V2P (virtual to physical) | Yes | No | | Command-line scripting | Yes (automation) | No | | 1-year priority support | Yes | No | | Free update to next version | No (new purchase) | No |
| Task | Time (1TB SSD, 500GB used) | |------|----------------------------| | Full backup (compression normal) | ~14 min | | Incremental backup | ~3 min | | Partition resize (250GB → 400GB) | ~2 min | | OS migration (SATA SSD → NVMe) | ~18 min |
(Your mileage may vary depending on hardware.)
