Ever wonder where the hard drive space is going. Well it could be that collection of uncompressed Abba .wav files. The truth is I think everyone has a little corner of thier harddrive or flash drive that’s being loaded with data they don’t need. For example I have a 2GB thumb drive that is half full. Until i tried SequoiaView on it I didn’t know what was filling it up. It seemed that i had some uncompressed symphony recordings on the drive that were buried inside a few directories.
SequoiaView is a freeware app that lets you view your data storage device as a block. This block has other blocks inside of it and the sizes of the blocks represent the relative sizes of your files. If you had a 100GB hard drive with two files in it that were 50GB a piece. SequoiaView would show two boxes (each at 50% of the area of the main box) representing the 100GB drive. Anyway it is an interesting tool if you are finding that you need more space on a drive or trying to clean out a harddrive or pen drive.
Give SequoiaView a try on your own system. Windows only though, sorry Mac.

It am a big fan of this program already for quite a while !And now I see your blog and the statement “sorry no mac”.
Only the other day I stumled onto “Disk Inventory X” ,Freeware downloadable at http://www.derlien.com.
Its obvious that one got the idea from the other since it gives the same square cushion shape representation of your files as sequoia view does ! — ON A MAC,yes indeed –
