Data backup and system disaster recovery offerings provider EaseUS Software has released its upgraded partition manager software, EaseUS Partition Master 9.0.

Version 9 of EaseUS Partition Master is a partition management product with non-destructive tools for partitioning Windows PCs that go beyond the basic functionality offered by Windows’ own Disk Management tool, the company said.

The new offering has advanced partition manager features to merge two or more adjacent partitions on the same physical disk.

EaseUS Software said the new version simplifies the job of resizing partitions on both MBR disk and Dynamic disk without data loss, offering system administrators a direct way to reorganise disk by merging partitions into a bigger one directly.

New EaseUS Partition Master keeps all the features of the previous version as well, such as resize/move partition, clone disk and partition, convert dynamic disk to basic disk, convert FAT to NTFS, create bootable disk.

New features available in EaseUS Partition Master 9.0 include support for dynamic disk to resize dynamic volume, like simple, spanned, stripped, mirrored and RAID 5 volumes.

Partition Master 9.0 has enhanced its partition repair capabilities to include repair RAID-5 volume by reconstructing the data of the failed member on another disk, and is now compatible with Windows Home Server.

It also supports command line usage for easier disk management and run a batch file with no need to run programme.
