Interested in what exactly is consuming most of my disk space on my laptop I took a look using Disk Inventory X. The little utility fired up and scanned my hard drive in no time.

When the scan was complete I was given a detailed map of everything on my hard drive, organized by directory. Optionally there is also a side menu showing file usage by type. This comes in very handy for finding out where all your disk space is being used.

Maybe I should just get a larger disk?
