It’s a new year now and my HDD is few years old already. Since I’m starting to hear HDD stalling from idle process more frequently, it’s time to prevent HDD failure damaging all of my hard work by replacing with a new storage.
Luckily, I received an offer to from AOMEI to try Partition Assistant Professional Edition software. Let’s see how it’ll work out with my job today.
First, I shall convert my new drive to GPT disk. I’ve been eager to do it for a long while now so this is good opportunity to do so.
After setting up GPT disk, I’m going to use Disk Copy Wizard and see if it can make my life easier. I’ll use recommended option since it seems to be faster and more flexible.
Next, it allows me to choose if I want to resize partition. Since I’m moving from 1TB drive to 2TB drive, I’d like to re-arrange the space a bit and it can serve me quite well.
Alright, it looks good now from the estimation. It’s time to click Apply and do some real jobs.
There’s confirmation dialog with some estimation here. 7hrs? Looks pretty promising. Maybe it’ll be done sooner since I’m using SATA connection.
Alright. It’s really doing some works now. This’ll take a while and it’s very late already. I guess I’ll go to sleep and see if it’ll work out smoothly after I wake up later.
I woke up with good news. It works as promised. I checked the contents and they’re performing well as it should. I didn’t expect exchanging a drive would be this easy. It’s time to swap a drive now. Yay!
After confirming it myself, I can say that this product is very simple to use and works fine to me. They’re also offering free partition software that may catch your interests. You can check the products I used in this review here.
