Review :

 Daemon tool lite manages virtual CD/DVD drives with in a windows environment. With support for up to 32 virtual drives, you will have more than ample drives to suit your needs.

The design of Daemon tools is to help those who prefer the use of a virtual CD/DVD to that of a physical disk. In the past CD’s/DVD’s where essential but as Disk drives and Solid state drives get bigger and faster CD/DVD drives are becoming less needed in everyday use.

 

The main feature of daemon tools we liked is the use of the DT drives these drives work differently to that of a SCSI drive, the DT drives uses a hidden set of drivers, which unlike SCSI drives can then read a range of disk that use media checking software such as Safedisk and secuROM.

The downside to the free version is that there is no IDE support and you will need to upgrade to the pro version. The price of the pro version is €34.90 which is a fair price for what you are getting, however unless you need the extra features found within the pro version we found the free version was more than adequate.

Overall, the free version is simple and easy to use offers support for a whole host of CD/DVD image formats, a large online database from both the makers and online community should you require help or support.
