Operating systems like Windows provides a feature to view basic information of your computer’s hard disk; the volume name, the used space, and the free space. But the information that you can view from this is very vague and speaks only on the whole hard disk and not on the individual files or folders contained inside your hard disk. What if you want to find out what particular files consumes too much space on your disk? Maybe one solution for this is to right click on the file or folders then go to properties tab. But what if you have thousands of files inside your hard disk? Repeating this step all over again then taking notes of each file size is a time consuming thing to do. The good news is that there is third party software that analyzes your hard disk in a detailed manner.

Disk Analyzer Pro is commercial software used in analyzing and managing disk space usage. The program scans your storage device such as hard disk and removable devices and then displays the content of your storage device in a grid provided on the program’s interface. Detailed information of the files inside your hard disk is also displayed like the exact location of file, the size of file, and the file type. Disk analyzer provides a very user friendly environment. Every component and function are organized in such a way user won’t get lost or take eternity just to look for a basic function like search or delete files. Disk Analyzer Pro also utilized the use of tabs to allow a more detailed view on the files inside your hard disk. Overall, the interface and performance of Disk Analyzer is very good and it is very convenient to use especially for the novice.

Hardware also is not a problem in using Disk Analyzer Pro. The program runs on Windows platform (2000, XP, Vista, 7). The minimum required RAM is only 256 MB so if you have a larger RAM then you don’t have any problem running this application. A computer with a processor of Pentium 1 or higher could run Disk Analyzer as long as it has 7 MB free on hard disk. The only drawback on this program is that it is not for free, though you can download a trial version for 14 days to tests the product’s functionality and performance.

The price of Disk Analyzer Pro is $29.99 and its size is 2.87 MB
