DiskCatalogMaker was designed to help Mac users analyze and inventory the data being stored on their local drives, USB sticks, CDs, and DVDs.
To analyze a disk, simply select it from the Activity window and start the scanning process. The utility will provide you with the information you need within moments, even when analyzing large-sized disks. You can browse the directories being stored in the scanned drive and get access to detailed information about the folders within the disk.
You also have access to a built-in search tool that helps you immediately locate folders and files.
Once you finish analyzing the data within the scanned disk, you can print the report or export it with just a few clicks.
If you ask me, it's worth buying DiskCatalogMaker only if you plan on using its features often. Otherwise, I'd suggest you try cheaper alternatives. There are a couple of disk analyzers that are open source and distributed for free.
Pros
- Localized in various languages
- Brings you an efficient search tool
- Fast scanning speed
- You can print or export the offered info
- Supports batch processing
Cons
- You can find cheaper disk analyzers
I have to track the contents of dozens of archive drives and DCM is a godsend.
This is a great old school power user tool in a era that has forgotten all about the poweruser.
Solid and been around for ages.. good combination!
