Symantec Ghost Boot Cd 12.0.0.10618 -x64- May 2026
Yet, any use of this tool today should be paired with a migration plan. Alternatives like Clonezilla (open-source, UEFI-friendly) or Macrium Reflect (modern commercial tool) offer superior driver support and faster compression. In the end, the Ghost Boot CD is a testament to excellent engineering from a past era—a tool that still boots, still clones, and still refuses to die, much like the systems it is often called upon to save.
In the annals of system administration and legacy IT support, few tools have achieved the cult status of Symantec Ghost. While the software suite has evolved and, in many ways, been superseded by modern deployment tools (like Microsoft’s MDT or SCCM), specific versions—such as Symantec Ghost Boot CD 12.0.0.10618 (x64) —remain indispensable artifacts. This particular release represents a mature, 64-bit capable iteration of a disk-cloning paradigm that defined PC lifecycle management for nearly two decades. Historical Context: The Ghost Paradigm To understand the significance of version 12.0.0.10618, one must appreciate Ghost’s core innovation. Originally developed by Binary Research before being acquired by Symantec, Ghost introduced a sector-based imaging approach. Instead of copying files individually (which is slow and prone to permission errors), Ghost captures an exact binary snapshot of a storage volume’s structure. This made it exceptionally fast and reliable for deploying identical configurations across large fleets of computers. Symantec Ghost Boot CD 12.0.0.10618 -x64-
Random adjectives, desperate efforts to “humanize” the tech resulted in this huge review to contain next to no information at all.
There is no easy way to say this: software RAID 0 on PCIe is simply retarded.
Thanks for your thoughts
Now just make it affordable
Well, for enterprise it is very affordable for what you get. If you are concerned about consumers/enthusiasts I can see where you are coming from, but this is not meant for them. Next year, however, we may be seeing performance like this trickle down.
More than likely next year
As an enterprise product I can see it as a high-end workstation device but not a server device. The lack of RAIDability seems to limit its use to caching and high-speed scratch work area.
I’ve been informed that PCIe hardware RAID will be available on the Skylake CPU and the Xeon version when it comes out later. Now we’re talking………
so this is a preview, not a review… where are the comparisons to P3700 and PM951?
I don’t have access to those drives. We reviewed the P3700 in another system. Because of that as well as a change in our testing methodology, we cant not graph them side by side. Looking at the P3700’s specific review you can gauge for yourself the approximate performance difference between the two.
