Count Wasted Space |

Windows version is out. |
Description ( Top
)
With this Win32 console application you can see how much disk space is wasted on your drive. The
larger the cluster size, the more space is wasted.
What is it more exactly?
( Top )
Different file systems use different cluster size. The worst is FAT16. For ex. if you have a
2GB partition of FAT16, its cluster size is 32KB, which means if you have a file whose size is
less than 32KB, it will require 32KB on your drive! Even if a file's size is 1 byte, it'll occupy
32768 bytes! What a waste! NTFS is much better, normally its cluster size is only 4KB. This prg.
will give you a statistics about the cluster size, total size of a drive, available space on the
drive, number of files, number of directories. Look at the screenshot!
