href="http://www.alexnolan.net/software/driveman.htm">Drive Manager</a> is trying to change that by providing one interface for all connected drives.</p><p>The portable software will display a list of all connected drives upon execution listing information like the drive letter, available and used disk space, the drive type, the percentage of free space and the vendor and the product ID. Certain types of drives (local, CD/DVD, removable, network, not mounted) can be excluded from the display to optimize it further.</p><p>A double-click on a drive will open the root directory of the drive in Windows Explorer. More interesting than that are probably the Disk Info and SMART buttons in the main toolbar which display a wealth of information about the selected drive.</p><p><span

There are also options to map network drives, check and benchmark hard drives, eject or lock optical drives and links to tools like defrag. All of these options are available from the main interface of the drive manager application.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/30/drive-manager/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>13</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
