PCSpaceCheck: What’s Eating Up Your Hard Drive?
Faster internet connections means more downloads. More downloads means your hard drive gets full really fast. In a perfect world, you could just download whatever you want without ever having to make sure you have enough space on your hard drive.
PCSpaceCheck is a free utility that lets you see what’s eating up your precious hard drive space. It provides you with a fast way of checking which directories are taking up the most space, or how much space you have left on all your drives.
You can access system tools like defrag, add/remove programs, etc. from within the application. If you don’t have a terabyte hard drive, you’re going to need this.

This looks like a pretty cool tool. I’ll have to give it a try and see how it works. At home I have 500GB and I have been very conservative with my space. I’m always going through and deleting old crap to keep free disk space even though I have quite a bit to spare.

I’d like to have 2 drives that are 1 terabyte each

The beautiful thing is that with the price of storage that isn’t too expensive to do. A friend of mine just recently setup network storage with 4 500GB drives.
The scary thing is that not that long ago people were amazed when they had 1GB of storage and people now carry more than that in their pocket.

Oh shoot…I glanced at the graphic and thought you had found something to do with bringing back Pac-Man. Oh well, my bad.

@Derek:
You’re right. I used to remember when people who had 1 gig hard drives would say, “There’s no way we can use all this space” haha
@Mark:
Haha I’ll go look for something buddy

Its so very easy to fill up the drives these days. My 80GB partition got full and fragmented so fast, i didnt realise until the comp started lagging badly. I havebt been backing up my snaps for a while and when the thumbnails began to hang while opening i knew it was time to give the drive a health checkup. As expected, disease- fragmentation. Cure- too low on free space

I know what’s eating up all the space on my hard drives, I’m just too lazy to burn it all to DVDs and delete it

@Mike :: You might want to consider setting up a scheduled job to run the defrag on a regular interval at a time when you aren’t using the machine. For instance, I have defrag running once a month on the first day of the month at 3am.

Well the defrags I do often. It’s the burning of tons of crap I download that I’m not so good at keeping up with. If I could make my computer load a blank DVD and burn all the junk I download at scheduled intervals that would be nice

@gotit:
We have the same problems hehe
@Mike:
If you ever find a way to do that let me know .. I need that too
@Derek:
I think I need to schedule my kids to not use the computer so I can schedule a defrag
