Yes, it’s easier to resize Mac partitions through Stellar Partition Manager software over Disk utility because of the following reasons:

  2. Mac partition manager software collects all free spaces at one place i.e. free spaces is gathered below all the partitions. Hence resizing Mac partitions with the availability of free spaces is extremely simple. Unfortunately, Disk Utility doesn’t collect free spaces, rather it makes free spaces as unused spaces.

One of the best Disk Utility alternative for partitioning Mac HDD.

I tried Stellar Partition Manger Software after Disk Utility failed in creating a new partition on my Mac hard drive. And, within minutes of using this partition manager, the software created a new partition of size 100 GB from the total 200 GB of available hard drive space.

After installing Stellar Partition Manager, I hardly use Disk Utility for partitioning. For every other activity, DU is great, but it simply makes the partitioning task a mess especially on OS X El Capitan. I am awaiting the macOS Sierra upgrade eagerly.

I plugged out a NTFS hard drive from a dead Windows PC and wondered how to use it on Mac. Disk Utility wouldn’t detect the NTFS hard drive so I turned up to Stellar Partition Manager. This software allowed me to format the NTFS hard drive and erase it for Mac OSX Journaled.

Thanks to Stellar Partition Manager for providing a friendlier interface for managing my partitions. Partitioning Mac hard disk with the facelifted Disk Utility is just inconvenient and non-productive. I no longer trust Mac's Disk Utility. The older version was the best. However, I appreciate the work done by the developers of Stellar Partition Manager application. I am waiting for newer updates eagerly.

Thanks for existing Stellar Partition Manager. I had a Windows NT hard drive having 100 GB of files and rest 400 gigs free. With your software, I created another partition on this drive and formatted with HFS transferred Macintosh HD files to it. Disk Utility just don't do it.

Stellar Partition Manager is the boss of Mac partitioning. I used it once and it resized Mac HD to occupy remaining useless 100 Gigs in the most reliable manner.

My hard drive spaces went wasted when disk utility failed to use them for resizing Macintosh HD. I took Stellar Partition Manager boot drive and did the resizing in a bootable environment and it worked as planned.

My Seagate expansion hard drive lost its volume after I ejected the drive forcefully. I tried reformatting the disk with Disk Utility hoping to get back the volume but failed. Tried the same with Stellar Partition Manager and amazingly got back the original drive size. Thank you for being my sidekick Stellar.

Disk Utility stubbornness forced me to look for 3rd party disk manager software. Luckily, I found Stellar Partition Manager tool for taking care of my disks on El Capitan.

I prefer managing my hard drive with Stellar Partition Manager utility on OS X El Capitan since it's Disk Utility is a big time disappointment when resizing the hard drive.

Disk Utility has limitation of collecting the free spaces and utilizing for creating/expanding the partitions. Stellar Partition Manager fills this gap in style.

Disk Utility failed to utilize the spaces left after removal of the BootCamp partition. I came to know only a complete hard drive format can fix this issue. But Stellar Partition Manager came to the picture and effectively formatted the unrecognized spaces with HFS file system and got back my spaces

I removed Mavericks 10.9 from my hard drive and downloaded El Capitan to a partition having Yosemite as the 3rd partition on the same drive. But wait, I lost around 230 GBs of spaces after the 10.9 deletion. The Disk Utility gave up and neither could resize Macintosh HD (boot drive) nor the Yosemite partition to consume the spaces. Had enough of it with Disk utility and tried the registered version of the Stellar Partition Manager which showed me the 230 Gbs of spaces at the bottom of the hard drive hierarchy and trust me it was a child's play to resize the macintosh HD and subsequently the Yosemite disk with zero gbs of loss.
