Now that you know how to get rid of duplicate files on your Windows PC or laptop, what if you could see how the space and hard drive data is distributed on your computer? The same guys from Moleskinsoft managed to come up with a disk space usage utility, dubbed Directory Size which is a free but highly useful Microsoft Windows software.

The tool is pretty intuitive so you won’t be lost with using it. The left part is where you have the directory tree while the right panel is where everything happens and I’m talking about detailed information like the size of a directory, if that’s the biggest folder you’re browsing, how many files it has beneath. You can also filter the future results on mask and choose what the extensions that the search function should include (or not).

Another thing that got my attention is what these guys call the “alive” diagram where you can see in real time the disk space usage results.

There’s also another interesting feature for the Moleskinsoft’s software; the “save all scanned files” options that allows you to keep the current scanning results in a separate .html or .txt file and access them whenever you need them.

Check it out and let us know.

Every big tech company seems to be a major player in the HDD market nowadays or at least want to become. This is the case with TDK (NYSE: TDK) that wants to play in the major league, by increasing the hard disk capacities we are able to store right now. However they may have a point here because after developing the technology to “more than double the data storage capacity of hard-disk drives compared with the most advanced products now available by modifying the design of magnetic heads and disks”.

TDK is promising to offer hard disks with up to 3TB capacities, being able to “read and write 602-gigabits of data per square inch”. They also promise to get them in mass production before 2010. See how time’s flying?
