With the addition of a new drive I'm reorganizing my storage. I'm looking for a Windows program that can compare for duplicates on different drives. The one I have looked at so far aren't satisfactory. Any recommendations?

Cheers,
Dave

Although slow (it runs under java), this is full featured. As a plus it will compare files byte by byte as opposed to only file names.

i had a similar problem. i used visipics,it has a nice interface and not only finds files with the same name/size but it can identify identical pics based on the content. it shows you suspected duplicates

On the PC I use Directory Opus as a replacement for Windows Explorer and one of the very long list of features is a compare folders facility.
It's well worth buying for the amount of time it saves, ever though it's 'expensive' compared to other Explorer or Finder replacements. Something that took two clicks and 5 minutes took many, many hours to do in Finder, so DOpus saves a fortune in billable time.
I find using a Mac, painfully slow at times due to not having a Mac version of DOpus. Pathfinder is sadly nowhere near as good.

There's
Araxis
Tidy Up
Singular

Never had cause to use one yet, so cannot comment on how good they are.
