File Sizes Report
The File Sizes report shows the distribution of files by size (or allocated size, e.g. "size on disk"). This can help you make informed decisions about how to manage your storage resources. For example, it helps you identify areas where disk space is being wasted by the presence of large numbers of small files, enabling more efficient storage configuration and optimization.
Optimize Storage Allocation
The File Sizes report provides critical insights for storage optimization:
- Identify clusters of tiny files consuming disproportionate space
- Locate extremely large files that could be archived or compressed
- Determine optimal cluster sizes for different storage volumes
- Plan appropriate storage tiers based on file size distributions
- Target compression or consolidation efforts for maximum impact
Practical Applications
Organizations leverage the File Sizes report for various optimization strategies:
- Planning file system consolidation projects
- Optimizing storage allocation for specific workloads
- Identifying candidates for file archiving systems
- Configuring backup systems for optimal performance
- Supporting storage infrastructure decisions
