7.  ABOUT HDD MANAGER 

Our duplicator uses rational and dynamic HDD management technology.  The traditional 
method of formatting an HDD requires you to choose the number of partitions designated 
for DVDs and CDs before formatting your hard drive.    The problem is that you might not be 
able to predict how many DVDs or CDs you will load onto your hard drive.  Many 
incomplete partitions can be created, mainly with new DVD disks constantly coming out, 
such as the double- layer DVD.  

You need an intelligent and more dynamic way to 

manage your HDD and our HDD manager can do that for you

!   

 
Our Dynamic HDD Manager consists of the following special features:  

I. Auto Detect Disc Capacity and Dynamically Assign Partitions 
 

1.  When you first format the built-in HDD, our duplicator will 

automatically divide the HDD into 1GB   

      partitions.

  A DVD or CD partition does not have to be selected in the beginning.    

2. 

You can check HDD information in function 12.6 HDD Info. The Hard Drive’s 

capacity is presented in 

      terms of how many DVD or CD discs

 you can load. For example, if your built-in HDD is 80GB, then the  

system will show the HDD available capacity: 

40GB / 5GB = 8  

or  
 

 
40GB / 1 GB = 40 

• 

Note: DVD is calculated by 5GB, and CD is calculated by 1GB

. 

3. 

Every time a source disc is loaded, 

the duplicator will auto detect the disc capacity and assign 

correct partitions for it. 

 For example, if you load a 4GB double-layer DVD disc into HDD as a disc 

image, the system will automatically detect and assign 4 partitions for it.

 
4.  Dynamic calculated and display HDD capacity

.  The duplicator will present built-in HDD capacity 

information dynamically depending on your loaded source disc’s capacity. For instance, before loading a 
4GB DVD disc as source disc image, the HDD information shows the HDD capacity that is available for 
loading 5 DVD or 26 CDs. However, after loading a 4GB DVD, the system will 

re-calculate

 the total 

available partitions and display how many DVD or CD discs you can load as disc image the next time.
