Compare Drive Genius vs. Secure Eraser

Drive Genius version 6 offers comprehensive management of your computer's drives while automating the detection of issues, malware, and synchronization of clones. You can easily add, remove, hide, expand, or reduce OS X partitions, allowing for a more organized Mac hard drive setup. The repartitioning feature lets you control partitions (volumes) on your hard drives by shrinking, expanding, shifting, deleting, hiding, revealing, or customizing them as needed. In contrast to conventional backup, erase, and repartition methods, Drive Genius lets you adjust partition sizes without the need for data loss. It intelligently assesses your drive's configuration, replicates that setup onto a new drive, and ensures that data transfer occurs in the most efficient manner. Additionally, it securely overwrites all data with one of five robust patterns that significantly hinder data recovery, followed by either formatting the drive anew or eliminating specific files and folders. This combination of features makes Drive Genius an essential tool for anyone looking to maintain their system's integrity and performance.
