In depth
DriveX is a shell extension that adds additional pages to the Properties dialog for disk drives. The Volume Information page contains detailed information about the selected drive including the volume serial number, compression state, cluster size, number of used clusters, number of free clusters, etc. Normally, you'd have to run Windows' ScanDisk or run CHKDSK from the command prompt to get this information. The File System page reports the file system used on the selected volume and displays the most significant characteristics of the file system.
On partitions that use the FAT file system, you can let DriveX perform a storage efficiency analysis which shows how much of your drive is actually occupied by data, and how much "slack" (unusable space due to cluster size) the drive has. The results are clearly presented in the familiar "pie chart" format.
