In the details view you will find a lot of valuable information about the disk usage like the folder size, the space that was wasted by the file system, the last access date, the NTFS compression rate and the owner. The listed can be sorted by any column and more columns can easily be added using the context menu.

With the pie charts you will quickly get a good impression of the disk usage. The charts can also be printed or copied to the clipboard,

An alternative graphical presentation is the bar chart. The appearance of the charts can be configured in many ways using the chart toolbar.
