    SpaceSniffer is much faster, and also shows System Volume Information under Windows, which Filelight does not.

    K4DirStat, fork of KDirStat , is a small utility program that sums up disk usage for directory trees, very much like the Unix 'du' command. It displays the disk space used up by a directory tree, both numerically and graphically.
