EaseUS Partition Master vs GNOME Disks

EaseUS Partition Master manages drives through operations including creating, deleting, resizing, moving and merging partitions. The Free edition is available for home users, but has limited features and does not support Windows Server. The Professional edition adds partition cloning, operating-system migration to an SSD or HDD, one-click AI smart space adjustment, disk conversions and WinPE boot-media creation.

Listed filesystem support includes FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, ReFS, EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4, with both partition-table types supported. A Mac version supports Intel, M1, M2 and M3 Macs and can read and write NTFS disks and unlock BitLocker-encrypted NTFS/FAT disks. The product is listed for macOS and Windows, and has a free plan and free trial. Listed one-time plans are Professional at $59.95, paid once, Server at $259, paid once, Unlimited at $499, paid once, and Technician at $699, paid once; the plans include free lifetime upgrades.

GNOME Disks is a free Linux utility for managing disks and block devices. It can inspect, format, partition, and configure storage, while showing a visual breakdown of volumes and partitions on a selected device. Supported examples include hard drives, USB drives, DVD-RWs, and SD cards. The utility displays SMART data, benchmarks physical disks, and creates images of USB sticks. It can check filesystems for damage and restore them to usable states. Formatting removable disks can wipe their contents, and disk utilities can completely erase data. GNOME Disks is available as bootable media. The app-specific content is licensed under GPL-2.0+, and Kai Lüke is listed as maintainer. Online help and an issue tracker are provided for support and feedback. Its Free plan costs nothing and includes inspection, formatting, partitioning, configuration, SMART data, benchmarking, and USB imaging.
