"Fast, intuitive, helpful"
Version: Disk Space Fan 2.2.7.821
Pros
'Ringschart' display style is quick and intuitive, striking a fine balance of both form and function (despite what this site's official review states);
In minutes I was able to download, install, use the product and reclaim dozens of GB from my disk.Cons
While drill-down was fast and easy, drilling back up could be slow, occasionally rescanning the whole disk

"Very nice visual display of drive usage"
Version: Disk Space Fan 2.2.7.821
Pros
Very polished and nicely intuitive display/graph
Works on mapped and network (UNC) drivesCons
Version upgrades are confusing
Summary
I liked this app so much that I forked over the money for the Pro version. It's really nice. My only complaint is that when I recently got a notification that a new version was available, I found after installing the new version that it had applied the upgrade to the free version (which I had not uninstalled yet) instead of to the paid Pro version. Wierd.

"Very handy way to see what's taking up hard drive space"
Version: Disk Space Fan 2.2.7.821
Pros
Very fast inventory of hard drive. Similar products take much longer to scan for files.
Cons
Using the "back" button after drilling down into hard drive segments takes you back to the root instead of back one directory level.

"I would not recommend this"
Version: Disk Space Fan 1.4.2.796
Pros
None I can think of
Cons
Wants to delete more than the useless files. Help section is not very helpful but confusing
Summary
In my opinion this program will cause more harm to your computer than good. Its description says it finds large and useless files and removes them to free up disk space. When you run a scan like I did it said it found 9.2 gig of useless files in the program file folder yet when you click on delete to remove the useless files it wants to delete the WHOLE program File Folder. I do not trust this software and will not risk losing all my programs.
