Why Should I Extend Partitions?

Have you ever meet the situation that computer runs slower and slower than before, or quite slower than first installation? That's most because C Partition, the partition you put system in, size is getting smaller and smaller, almost all the free space are consumed by personal file or temporary files. So it will make simple task like COPY and PASTE running on a very long time.

So, extend partitions improves system performance, as well as the first using of a new computer.

I do not have this problem; I have much free space on system partition, so Why should I use Partition Extender?

Yes, partition extender can not only solve low disk space problems in System partition, but also make more free space on other partitions. Let's say D partition named after Games, some games' file are as large as 10 GB in zip form, unzip them may be 15GB, run them might require 30 GB of free space, When you have different types of Game on D Partition, I don't think 100GB free space is enough for smooth running games. Put new game in another partition is also OK, but the order of partition: C, D, E, also means the speed of read and write in each partition, so often used file put into D partition runs faster than E partition, especially when you run the client.exe file.

So, extend partition in data partition is also needed in daily use.
