Scan any external HDD, SSD, or USB drive to find duplicates, large files, and forgotten archives. Works on macOS and Windows — read-only.
External drives accumulate years of duplicates, abandoned project folders, and orphaned thumbnails. SafeRestore Storage Analyzer scans the entire drive, computes SHA-256 hashes to identify true duplicates (not just same-name files), and gives you a treemap of where your years of backups actually went.
No. Scanning is purely read-only — it walks the file system without writing anything. Spinning hard drives are safe.
Roughly 1 minute per 100 GB on USB 3.0 SSD, 5–15 minutes per 100 GB on spinning USB drives.
Yes — SHA-256 hashing identifies bit-identical duplicates regardless of filename. Our duplicate finder also flags near-duplicates (resized versions of the same photo).
No. Read-only by design. Deletion is manual or via FilePilot.
Use SafeRestore Storage Analyzer to handle this directly. The tool runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
