1 and less than 2TB hard disk
For hard disks smaller than 2TB, DiskGenius usually uses MBR (Master Boot Record) partition table. MBR partition table is a traditional partition method with a fixed size, usually 32MB. This division method is simple, easy to use and compatible. However, due to the size limitation of MBR partition table, only four main partitions can be supported at most. Therefore, for hard disks smaller than 2TB, DiskGenius usually suggests creating four main partitions and using logical partitions to manage the remaining disk space.
2. Hard disk greater than or equal to 2TB
DiskGenius usually uses GUID(GUID Partition Table) partition table for hard disks greater than or equal to 2TB. GUID partition table is a partition method recommended by Microsoft, which supports larger disk capacity and more partitions. The maximum disk capacity of GUID partition table is 18EB (equivalent to18,446,744,073,709,5516 15 bytes), and it supports 128 main partitions at most. Therefore, for a hard disk larger than or equal to 2TB, DiskGenius can create more primary partitions to manage disk space.
The main functions and characteristics of DiskGenius software:
1, which supports the traditional MBR partition table format and the mainstream GUID partition table format.
2. Basic operations such as creating, deleting and hiding partitions are supported. You can specify detailed partition parameters.
3. Support IDE, SCSI, SATA, NVME and other types of hard disks. Support U disk, USB hard disk (mobile hard disk) and memory card (flash card).
4. Support FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT32 and NTFS file systems.
5. Support the file reading operation of EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 file system. Support Linux LVM2 disk management mode.
6. quick format FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT32 and NTFS can be partitioned. When formatting, you can set the cluster size and support the compression property of NTFS file system.
7. You can browse any file in any partition, including hidden partitions, including files that cannot be accessed by normal methods. You can read and write files and forcibly delete files by directly reading and writing disk sectors.
