Disk Imaging Tools

Being able to assess the contents of a hard drive or other data storage device is incredibly useful. Apps such as Disk Utility allow you to do so, while apps such as Clonezilla and Acronis True Image allow you to perform more intricate actions such as copying, archiving, and backing up the contents of whole hard disks, optical disks, and flash drives.
