12.8 ABOUT HDD MANAGER
Our duplicator has a highly intelligent and dynamic HDD management technology. Traditional methods
of formatting a HDD, in which the number of partitions is determined by dividing your Hard Drive‘s total
capacity by 5GB for DVD or 1GB for CD. In this way, you have to decide how many partitions for DVD
or CD before you start format your Hard Drive. Many times you are not able to predict how many DVD’s
or CD’s you will be loading to the Hard Drive. You can then potentially create many incomplete partitions.
