  Strengths: Very intuitive representation of huge hard drives

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: This program is EXCELLENT. The article in PC WORLD said "... a graphical depiction of the contents of your hard drive..." I hoped this would also work on a networked drive, and it did! I had recently been charged with reducing the size of a network drive that was taking up too much space on the nightly backup. I wasn't sure how to address this task until I found this program. Showing the size and type of files made identifying areas to be cleaned up very easy (I was also able to identify hundreds of .JPG files that should have never been on the network drive!!!) And as a bonus, the colorful graphical representation of 131,457 files was almost a work of art. This is a great tool and I would recommend it to all network admins.

  Strengths: Excellent Program!!

  Weaknesses: None that I see.

  Overall Evaluation: This program gives you a tree map and visualization of your entire hard drive. You can see where the files are-how large they are and you can clean out files a variety of ways. To the recycle bin-permanenently delete or by a method of your choice. I used this to clean out a secondary external hard drive that I backed up TOO extremely by error. I could veiw all the files -delete what I wanted and also empty the recycle bin from the program itself. It also shows you the types of files by color -size and type. A GREAT program!
