A new Mac drive comes with a single large volume. In such a hard drive, in which there is only one single Mac volume as a whole, you can make any separation between different categories of data. Hence, if you want to keep different types of data separately, then you need to create altogether separate volumes in your hard drive and store data accordingly.
Similarly, you may need to delete unwanted volumes, format data in the volume or resize existing volumes. There are many easy-to-use utilities available, which can help managing your Mac partitions in few simple steps.
Some Mac hard drives come preinitialized from the factory itself, whereas some others have to be initialized before use. In case of those yet to be initialized Mac hard drives, you need to have a Mac utility, which can initialize your raw hard drive and create volumes in it.
Sometimes, data in a volume seems unwanted and you need to format the volume for storing data afresh. Even at times, you need to delete your old Mac volume and create one or more volumes instead. But, under some unexpected situations, the volumes get infected with malicious virus and neither can be formatted nor can be deleted.
In such situations, when even the default Mac Disk Utility fails to format or delete the corrupt volumes, there are many third-party Mac utilities, which are efficient enough to do the job smoothly.
Similarly, another major need of the Mac users is to increase or decrease the size of the existing Mac volumes. In case of some of the Mac volumes, you may feel that the volumes may have much unused space, which can be used somewhere else. In some other cases, a volume may need more storage space in order to store all the data of the same category.
Stellar Partition Manager is a complete Mac utility to deal with all your Mac related needs, including adding partitions, deleting partitions, formatting partitions, resizing partitions etc. The software shows the used and unused memory spaces in separate blocks, which gives a clear idea on the total amount of free space available.
Moreover, the software provides option to hide or unmount any partitions, which helps in preventing unwanted access to your confidential data. The partition, which has made hidden using the Partition Manager, can only be revealed using the same software. Most importantly, in normal users’ perspective, this utility can be used by almost any Mac user, without even any further professional assistance.
