Version change from 1.x to 2.0

Since version 1.0 released in 2010 the program accumulated lots of major changes. It has better UI, ability to power off devices on stopping, High-DPI support, fixing drive letter to several devices. Tha program now supports new OSes, forgotten device reminder, improved forced stop and many other options and bug fixes.

Changes in Zentimo xStorage Manager 2.4:

This version adds some interesting and important new features – system wide device name change, preventive flushing of disk buffers on forced stop, improved device stop and bugfix.

System wide device name change

Now when you change the device name in the program you will see the same name in the Device Manager, the Windows drive properties and in all other programs that displays devices. A useful feature when you need to use the device in other programs.

Preventive flushing of disk buffers

When forcibly stops the device the program now flushes the disk buffers (for storage devices) before the operation. This maximizes the data safety of your drives.

Improved forced stop

The previous versions couldn’t forcibly stop devices consist from a drive and a virtual CD. Usually this virtual CD contains some software that allows to unlock the encrypted content of the drive. That software in turn prevents the whole drive to be safely removed. The new version allows to forcibly stop even such drives.

The device menu button (three dots) was overlapped by the Browse button when the “Display device name” option was disabled
