This software splits large files into smaller segments for storage on various media types, such as floppy disks and CDs. It can handle large files and offers extensive configuration options.
One of SplitFile's key features when compared to other similar programs is its support for very large files - in fact, it can handle files up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 bytes, or 8589934591 GB (theoretically). Additionally, the program can be configured to increase performance when used with faster disks - this is achieved by adjusting the read and write buffer up to 32 times the commonly used value.
SplitFile has several other useful features, including a variety of preset sizes (ranging from floppy disks to DVD-Rs), the ability to split a file according to a desired size or number of parts, and the option to select different units of measurement (from bytes to GB). Users can also choose their read/write buffer to improve performance or pause the task if needed.
There are two methods for joining files split by SplitFile - users can do so through the program's graphical user interface or through a standalone executable file that can be used even by those who don't have the program installed. Other options include the ability to be asked before overwriting an existing file and the ability to split/join files in a destination folder different from the source, making it easier to keep track of multiple files.
Best of all? SplitFile is completely free to use as it is a freeware program. If you need to split large files into more manageable segments, SplitFile is definitely worth checking out.
