Disktracker is my mainstay, and has been for many years. When I switched to Intel Macs, I was worried that it wouldn't work, since there is no Universal Binary. Turns out it works just as fast in Rosetta as it did before. It just scanned 127.4 GB of data on an external Firewire drive in the time it took to write this review. Actually less, since it's done, and I'm still writing. Maybe it would be nice if it grabbed the icons, so I can search visually, but pretty much 100% of my searches for a file are the sort where I type in a file name, or one nearby, and it takes me to the file I want. When you're cataloguing or looking things up, speed is what you want, and DiskTracker is the king of speed. Don't be put off by lack of UB. It runs as if it's native, thanks to Rosetta in OSX on Intel machines. This is great software, the way Mac software used to be. Not much eye-candy, but it's Fast and Furious. Accurate. Easy to use. Easy to use. (Oh, did I already say that? I mean... it's easy to use) ;^)

I've checked a lot of others over the years, and some are prettier, but none compare to DiskTracker in performance, IMO.
