Evaluating disk use with OmniDiskSweeper
Recently I was pondering what life might be like on a Macbook Pro with a 128 GB solid state hard drive and wanted a way to get a bird’s eye view of how I use my current hard drive on my Mac Pro. OmniDiskSweeper is built just for this kind of thing.
Basically you start it up and give it a few minutes to process your disk. It will then show you a column view that lets you traverse the folder structure, sorting by the size of enclosed folder. Simple but very cool. OmniDiskSweeper is a free utility from the Omni Group.
If you want a more visual representation you could also check out Disk Inventory X (also free). It will group up file size by file type and show you a graphical treemap.
