Where has my disk space gone? Flame graphs for file systems

I prefer Wiztree (link below), especially on systems with much larger disks. Since Wiztree works by scanning the MFT it's about an order of magnitude faster than Windirstat or Treesize.

Hey, thanks for this. Was using WinDirStat. This is really fast! Plus I like the minimalistic interface.

That's misleading - TreeSize also works by scanning the MFT.

Sadly as a consequence of this, it can only report file size, not disk usage. If you have a lot of folders with NTFS compression enabled, Wiztree becomes almost useless.

YES! I really wish there were others that scanned the MFT. I don't think Wiztree is as flexible with visualizations.
