  Whoa. I just downloaded ncdu and it scanned my system drive in 3 or 4 seconds. How is that possible?

    Do you have a SSD drive ? It's also faster to scan and find many big files, rather than a lot of small files even if it totals the same size. It's also incredibly fast if you are attempting to scan a folder you don't have access to ...

      I do have an SSD but other methods to find big dirs/files are much slower. Like find / -xdev -type f -size +${2:-100}M -exec echo {} && du -h {} & \; ; }
