Disk Savvy Pro is a powerful tool for analyzing how your disk space is being used. It helps you analyze multiple folders at once, which makes your work much more efficient. With support for network shares, NAS storage, and enterprise storage systems, it makes sharing documents a breeze—say goodbye to the days of carrying around USB drives. Users can analyze one or more disks, directories, or network shares to find the specific files and folders taking up the most space. It also generates various pie charts so you can understand your data at a glance. You can save reports and track history trends to see how your storage changes over time, making it easy to find exactly what you need. Disk Savvy Pro includes a built-in file classification feature to manage your files by category. By downloading a few necessary plugins, the software can recognize over 3,000 file types and show details like category, file extension, owner, and the dates when files were created or last accessed. It even allows you to perform management tasks directly on the analysis results. As a professional-grade disk analyzer, it is a must-have tool!
Key Features
1. File Classification
This feature uses plugins to sort your files into categories. It recognizes more than 3,000 types of files and displays info like file extension, user, and timestamps. It also lets you take action (like moving or deleting) on specific types of files directly from the results screen.
2. Analyze Network Servers and NAS
Disk Savvy Pro can scan your network to find servers and NAS storage devices. It automatically detects accessible network shares and analyzes disk usage across hundreds of devices at once. You can export the list of found servers and their shares as HTML, PDF, text, or CSV reports.
3. Analyzing Servers
To analyze one or more servers, just click the "Network" button on the main toolbar. Wait for DiskSavvy to scan and list the detected devices. Simply select the server you want and hit the "Analyze" button.
4. Analyzing Network Shares
The software shows all shares hosted on your servers or NAS. You can analyze space usage and save charts or reports for each one. It also offers advanced options so you can customize the analysis to fit your specific hardware and needs.
5. Command Line Utility
For IT admins, there is a command-line version of Disk Savvy Pro. This is great for running automated tasks, saving reports automatically, or exporting results to an SQL database. You can easily integrate it into your own scripts or batch files.
6. Disk Savvy Server for Business
Enterprise users can use DiskSavvy Server, which runs in the background as a service. It allows for scheduled scans, centralized reporting to an SQL database, and advanced trend analysis. You can even set up rules to analyze space based on specific conditions or by specific users.
7. Remote Control and Web Interface
The Server version can be controlled via a desktop app or a web browser. The desktop client has all the standard features plus the ability to manage multiple servers at once. The Enterprise version also adds a web-based management interface for easy access from any browser.
8. Batch Analysis Operations
DiskSavvy Server and Enterprise can scan your whole network, find every storage device, and run analysis commands on hundreds of them at the same time. It then generates a separate report for every single server or share it finds.
9. How to Run Batch Scans
It’s simple: click "Network" to find your devices, select the ones you want to check, right-click, and choose "Batch Disk Space Analysis." You can then pick from a list of pre-configured commands to run across all those devices automatically.
10. Reviewing Batch Results
Once the batch process is done, Disk Savvy stores individual reports for each device in its database. You can then open these reports to see charts or export the data into standard formats like HTML, PDF, Excel, CSV, or XML.
