EaseUS it's pretty nice from what I've used, but haven't had to use it much

 

[PantsuJo]

Very nice

 

[LinkSlayer64]

EASEUS is pretty decent, otherwise this bundle really is for enthusiasts.
AirParrot sounds nice as well.
Also lol at Daemon tools, I haven't used that software since high school.

 

[Delusibeta]

Six months of Backblaze for $5-ish dollars is well worth that price (although fair warning, new subscribers only). If I wasn't already a happy Backblaze customer, I'd grab that bundle just for that alone.

I understand EaseUS is a good partition manager, and if you haven't already got a password manager setup I hear Dashlane is pretty good, and you'll get the trilogy of Marks thrown in with that. So, yeah, decent bundle.

I already got a licence for Alcohol 120, how does it compare to Daemons tools pro? One irritating thing I can't do is mount an image with compressed audio tracks: the image can't be iso+mp3 or flac, it has to be wav.

Got EaseUS Partition Master Pro, thanks!

Coincidentally, I think Daemon Tools' traffic decline is a pretty 1:1 comparison with the popularity of Steam.

$5 for 3D Mark might be worth it so I can skip that bullshit in the beginning.

I'm sure it fell off a cliff when Microsoft integrated ISO mounting into Windows proper. It was the only reason I ever used it.

 

[chrominance]

Seems alright, might be nice to have a premium version of 3DMark for benchmarking maybe. I wouldn't say it's a must-have bundle unless there's a specific tool in the pack that you find compelling. I feel like there are free tools that do what, say, EASEUS or Daemon Tools do already. 6 months of Backblaze is nice but it's still just an introductory subscription offer. I wouldn't trust System Mechanic with my computer (or any "IS YOUR COMPUTER RUNNING SLOW IT'S BECAUSE OF TEMP FILES MAN" "optimization" software).

"System Mechanic" sounds like a fucking disaster in the making.

If you want to make your PC less reliable in the long run, including making updates months or years down the line have more problems because of unexpected compatibility issues, there is literally no better way to accomplish that than mucking around in the registry naively, wiping out files that something thinks are not necessary, and mess around with various systems and processes in ways Microsoft never intended or supported.

 

[rrs]

seems like a grab bag of software in need of promotion

also don't use that system optimizer/"10 minute oil change """""""""mechanic"""""" garbage, heed the wise words above me

That's what you want us think you MS employee! 😜

Spoiler

Yep no one touch even with a ten-foot pole. Reminds me of the same nonsense on Android.

 

[ScientificPizza]

Probably gonna get this just for the Daemon Tools licence

Cool bundle tho

 

[dickroach]

seems like a grab bag of software in need of promotion

yeah, pretty much. the last software bundle they had tho was good tho. I use CyberGhost daily

 

[K.Jack]

Already picked up 3DMark for $4.49 in the December Steam sale, otherwise I'd pick this up, just for that.

I once bricked a Windows install with CCleaner, never again.
