Hi all, Not sure if this is the right forum or not.but. I have used Disk Director for all my partition move/resize/copy/backup etc. Operations for a couple of years now. I have never used True Image. My question is, what does True Image do (if anything) that a partition copy in Disk Director doesn't? Specifically I have an OCZ Summit SSD drive and am going to update the firmware, I need to make a copy of the drive as the flashing process wipes the drive. Is it worth buying True Image when I already have Disk Director?

Is there any advantage using True Image over doing a partition copy to another drive and then back again in Disk Director? Regards, Mat.

Is it that you are not upgrading the Disk Director Suite and suggesting Acronis True Image 2010 instead? This leaves me a little concerned as in one of the earlier posting the two programs perform different activities. The other thing that bothers me is the fact that SSD are not fully supported.

Hello Ilya, You appear not to have responded to me penultimate sentence and question? Is Acronis considering phasing out Disk Director Suite (as I believe it performs a different function to the other program)? The creation of the partition was not done with the Boot Media disk that Disk Directory Suite V10 created. Ebook percakapan 3 bahasa inggris arab indonesia pdf free.
