what is the best disk space monitor that sits in your system tray and tells you how much space you have left of each drive?

p.s. i am talking about freeware if anybudy knows

I have used Norton Systemworks in the past to monitor disk space etc. Why would you want something running constantly in the Taskbar to monitor space. That will cause a lot of unnecessary overhead.

Unless you are developing applications or building massive packages I would not recommend cluttering up task manager with a lot of tasks. It will affect your system performance.

desktop sidebar

samurize (takes a LOT of configuration but its worth it)

Hey there,

AveDesk is another great choice. Very easy on resources and has the drive space right on the drive icon on your desktop. Have a look through the desktop screenshots section for a few of my screenies and you'll have an idea of what's available. The SysStats addon is also capable of reading drive space and displaying it in ways to your liking.

Cheers!

@Zxian i prefer one in the system tray instead of the desktop so i can see the disk space all the time, then all i need to do is look down at the tray
