 DataVolume |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Description: This is my favorite disk space utility! Very fast, very easy to use. Only shows the top 20 folders and the top 20 files, but this can be easier to use than showing every folder/file. | |||||
 DiskFree |
|
||||
| Description: This taskbar icon (with popup window) lets you know instantly how much free space is left on your hard drive(s). Doesn't let you pick individual folders, just drives. | |||||
 JDiskReport |
|
||||
| Description: This is a Java application, and suffers from an extremely slow launch-time. Other than that, though, this is a top-notch tool, with fast scans and excellent pie-charts of disk usage. | |||||
 SC-DiskInfo |
|
||||
| Description: This is a pretty good disk-space, but it suffers from minor sorting bugs. Doesn't look like it's been updated in a while, though. | |||||
 Scanner |
|
||||
| Description: Scanner doesn't let you pick individual folders (just whole drives) and has a strange user-interface. The only reason I'm even listing it here is that it shows disk usage in an interesting concentric-ring/pie-chart. | |||||
 TreeSize |
|
||||
| Description: TreeSize shows you the sizes of all files and folders inside a local drive or folder. The latest version (1.71) of this free software doesn't work on networked drives, but the $35 TreeSize Pro will. Before shelling out the bucks, look for TreeSize version 1.6.1.73 (Mar 20, 2002) - it doesn't have any problem working on network folders/drives! Doesn't seem to be missing anything major compared with the more recent (but more limited!) 1.71 release. Probably the best feature of TreeSize, though, is the ability to right-click on a folder (in an Explorer window) and run TreeSize on it! | |||||
