    Is it worth upgrading from the last time it was free?

      Idk, my 'last' one was 5years ago. So Im thankful to found this one.

    Argh. It wants me to install the 'SharewareOnSale Download hub' application, which is a downloader / activator for the actual program.

      I quite enjoy those friendly pop-ups during those long hours into the night posting on OzBargain…

    • taron on 26/02/2021 - 22:30

      You can uninstall it after install the app.

    • archkesha on 27/02/2021 - 15:09

      Don't use SharewareOnSale installer, it's just a downloader for the actual installation file. Instead, click through to the page where you get the license. It will be sent to your email along with Paragon's installer download link for your OS.

    Last one still work if you change the date to March 2020 before install

  • KOBH on 25/02/2021 - 14:47

    So it's not better than v5.50.

  • CheapGit on 25/02/2021 - 15:17

    I'm still not fully convinced on Sentinel, it's been telling me for nearly a year that one of my drives has 5% health and remaining lifetime is 5 days.
    The drive still going strong !

    • superforever on 25/02/2021 - 16:01

      SSD or hard disk?

      • CheapGit on 25/02/2021 - 18:20

        Hard Disk, 2TB Seagate barracuda drive.

        • arman1201 on 25/02/2021 - 18:28

          Mine just failed without any warning few weeks ago. Click of death. Granted it was 10 years old.

          • superforever on 25/02/2021 - 19:07

            @arman1201: Any bad sectors warning from HD Sentinel.

            Hard Disk, 2TB Seagate barracuda drive.

            If no bad sectors warning may be fine.

    • frewer on 25/02/2021 - 16:06

      I think I go with HDS, since the hard drive that has issue lately is 9yo+

      • CheapGit on 25/02/2021 - 18:24

        HDS had been saying for almost a year that my drive has 5days life left and it's still going strong, so no idea what's up with the reporting from the software.
        It's only a media storage drive so no big issue if it would fail.
        I've scanned it, retested it, defraged, reformatted and anything else I can think of and still same status.

        All my other drives are showing 100% health.

        • Maltopia on 25/02/2021 - 18:29

          You can expand the details to show what is causing it to report low health and from memory, also adjust parameters so that issue X only reports Y% health loss at level Z etc.

    does this need to be installed within any timeline?

    • frewer on 25/02/2021 - 16:06

      Yes but I am not sure when but you can always change the date back to install it.

  • hothot on 25/02/2021 - 16:48

    any direct download link for Paragon HDM

  • lostn on 25/02/2021 - 19:20

    I have a feeling there will either be bundled bloatware included, or the software is nagware which will constantly ask you to buy a retail copy whenever you run it.

    • RogerLoger on 25/02/2021 - 19:36

      It's right to distrust sharewareonsale but the direct link above should be fine.
      If nervy about spam, use a disposable email address such as https://temp-mail.org/. You can get a temp mail extensions for most devices/browsers. Check the bottom of the we page. Some sites won't play with temp mail. When they don't, web search for disposable email or temporary email.

    diskmgmt.msc + Open Shredder + File History.

    No bloatware required.

      For proper drive info crystaldiskinfo is really good, and free.

      • stealthpaw on 26/02/2021 - 04:08

        Crystaldiskinfo is great. Been using it for years.

      • The Doctor on 27/02/2021 - 15:39

        CrystalDiskInfo can't show drive letters or free space, can't see HDDs on SAS/RAID controllers and thinks my flash drive is rooted. Hard Disk Sentinel has none of those problems.

    • UrbanLegend on 25/02/2021 - 23:45

      The GUI is nice and modern, as opposed to the Win9x look of DiskMgmt.msc.

      • Blue Cat on 26/02/2021 - 05:18
        +1

        Win9x look of DiskMgmt.msc.

        You are saying that like it is a bad thing.

        Also, I don’t think DiskMgmt allows you to resize and create extra partitions on a disk that is already formated and has files in it.

        I use GParted Linux ISO for that anyway…

  • Broden on 26/02/2021 - 00:16

    Asks for a serial number, am I missing something obvious?

  • mickeyk on 26/02/2021 - 00:53

    What is the difference between this Paragon version and the long running Paragon 25th Limited Anniversary Edition?

    • Borg on 26/02/2021 - 14:27

      This version is stripped down. See my comment below.

  • FrontBottom on 26/02/2021 - 10:24

    The last Sentinel i got for free was 5.5. Changelog here for anyone interested:

  • Borg on 26/02/2021 - 13:44

    I grabbed and tested the Paragon Backup thinking it could "Live transfer ones systems and data" to new HDD. No such feature exists on this version (which is LE). My guess one needs the "Advanced" version. That was the only thing of interest. Shame as nothing special about the other features and personally think the Freebies by EaseUS are a lot better.

    • Blue Cat on 27/02/2021 - 15:29

      You can use CloneZilla to completely transfer one HDD/SSD to a new HDD/SSD (implying that the new one is same or bigger size), but it is a bit more advanced than just point-and-click.

      As for this Paragon software, it has 2 useful options (for me) - convert GPT to MBR (and vice versa) and bootable recovery software.

      Proper, free ways to convert MBR <-> GPT drives with existing data don't exist (last checked in 2018!) so this is super useful.

      • Borg on 27/02/2021 - 18:43
        +1

        Live Transfer was what I was looking for. I don't believe Clonezilla can do that and is more for booting into if I am not mistaken?
        The bootable recovery media strangly failed to boot upon my testing. It hung at the poing of looking for network. I didn't troubleshoot as was just a quick test and don't plan on using.

        • Blue Cat on 27/02/2021 - 19:24

          CloneZilla runs off a USB stick, CD, or straight from RAM, which means that you can copy/paste/backup (into a file) any hard disk or solid state drive on your computer.

          When I get my new M.2 SSD, here is what I am planning to do:

          • Copy my current 128GB SSD into my secondary HDD (as a backup)
          • Replace 128GB SSD with a new 1TB SSD
          • Run CloneZilla again, restore my 128GB backup, which is on a separate HDD, into the new 1TB SSD
          • Flawless victory!
          • Borg on 27/02/2021 - 21:25

            @Blue Cat: What I need is to install an app on Windows, connect an external SSD via caddy and then copy existing OS across the SSD live while Windows is running.
            Reason: So I can remotely sort for clients who live overseas and have zero tech skills but enough to swap out the drives.

            Often the biggest hurdle is getting PCs/NBs to boot via USB etc and also often too many complications to try explain when Bios isn't setup by default to boot to USB.

            As Paragon noted it could do "Live Copy" I was interested in testing but this version doesn't. Will test the non LE version but will be surprised if it does what it says it can.

  • Chmmr on 08/03/2021 - 22:40

    Looks like Paragon Hard Disk Manager 17 is still available. Just waiting for the email with the key.

    • Chmmr on 08/03/2021 - 22:44

      Update: Had to use a different address as my live.com.au wouldn't receive the email. Different domain received it in seconds.
