Disk utility

This article is about disk utilities in general. For the similarly named macOS software, see Disk Utility.

A disk utility is a utility focused on the functionality of computer disks. A disk utility may support one or more of the following capabilities: disk partitioning, logical volume management, changing drive letters and other mount points, renaming volumes, disk checking, and disk formatting. Typically, an operating system (OS) includes a disk utility for basic operations, and often other utilities are available for an OS.
