Acronis Disk Director Home 11 Editor's Review

For many computer users working with hard disks and partitions becomes necessary at times. While it is possible to use Windows inbuilt utility Disk Management console, it is not suitable for casual users and comes with few functionalities. If you are looking for a comprehensive disk management solution that makes managing partitions and overall hard disc simpler, Acronis Disk Director Home can be ideal. However, it comes loaded with advanced disc management features that can be messed up by inexperienced users as well.

Acronis Disk Director Home runs on PCs with Windows XP and later versions. The installation is standard and takes some time to compete. It is not much resource hungry as such.

The app has a clean and uncluttered UI. There is a column on the UI’s left side that has operations listed for performing on disc partitions. There is a defragment utility bundled as well. The partition related tasks can be performed with ease. You can split, resize partitions, and change partition type. The app has three major components- a recovery module, bootable media creator and a partition manager.

Acronis Disk Director Home offers combined power of its own tools along with Windows disc management utility. This becomes evident when you search the hard disk for errors or run defragmentation. The app offers some advanced features that you will not generally find in many third party partition and disc management apps. The Recovery Expert is one such example. It comes in handy when your laptop or desktop cannot boot owing to MBR corruption or system file damage.

The App’s bootable media builder is ideal when you want to run Acronis Disk Director in offline mode. With it you can carry the app in USB stick or optical disc. You can opt for either a Linux based GUI or Windows PE based version while creating the disc and the latter involves multiple steps. The app does not apply any changes made to partitions and disc immediately after you instruct. It loads tasks in a queue. To run the queues tasks, you need to click on button “Commit pending operations”. However, you cannot perform multiple operations on same drive at the same time.

Using the Recovery Expert module is similar to working with the main app. The users are guided by a nifty wizard on this mode. You can pick from automatic and manual recovery mode. The Acronis OS Selector is a boot loader and it can be useful when you have more than one OS installed in your PC. It deals with several OS installed in same partition with ease. It is installed separately than Disc Director and your PC needs a reboot before installation can be completed. This feature will not be available in the WinPE-based disk though.

Acronis Disk Director Home comes with some advanced functions that should only be handled by seasoned users or else the PC can become unbootable. The app does not even warn users before performing those actions.

Positive Points:
 -  Streamlined, uncluttered User Interface.
 -  Extensive partition management functions.
 -  Bootable media creation option.
 -  Capable OS selector, Recovery wizard.
 -  Frugal footprint and resource requirements.

Negative Points:
 -  Advanced features not suited for casual users.
 -  Building Windows PE based recovery disc is tedious.

Conclusion:
Despite the inclusion of Home in its name, Acronis Disk Director Home is not exactly targeted at home users. Its advanced features make it more suited for business setups and administrators. The UI is definitely sleek and user friendly. Performing most tasks will not be tedious. It does not tax system resources much as well. The Bootable Media Builder, Recovery Expert and OS Selector ensure your disc can be managed in the best possible way. However, creating the Win PE based recovery disc is a tedious process and it does not include OS selector component. The biggest drawback of the app is its easy accessibility of advanced functionalities which can lead to system instability which might actually be a boon for experienced users.
