DiskScout

DiskScout version 2.01, developed by DiskScout.com, stands out in the category of System Utilities, specifically under File Managers, for its unique capabilities. Unlike traditional disk monitoring tools, this software excels as a disk space analyzer and disk scan utility. DiskScout isn't just about identifying large files or folders; its distinctive feature lies in marking changes in size between scans.

This innovative approach is particularly useful for tracking the historical development of hard disk space usage, offering a comprehensive analysis from past to present. Users can scan their disks on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis and the program saves all data into a database, enabling the display of changes in folder sizes over various time periods.

Compatible with Windows 7, DiskScout proves to be highly efficient and intuitive, presenting data in a user-friendly manner. This makes it simple to identify where and how disk space has changed. The latest version 2.01, available as diskscout.exe, reflects the continued improvements and feature enhancements over its previous versions, 2.0, and 1.2.

A significant advantage of DiskScout is its free download option, making it accessible to a broad range of users without financial commitment. However, a notable downside is its restricted compatibility, as it only supports Windows 7 and not newer operating systems.

Pros:

• Comprehensive analysis of disk space usage changes over time.
• User-friendly interface.
• Free download available.
