Those were the days

I'm too old. This is going way too fast

Awesome! Yeah maybe slower so it can be like a screensaver.

Oh man, I used to look forward to deleting lots of stuff so I could watch this run.

Heaven

It also needs clanking sounds from the hdd

it does have sound effects

Haven't watched it long enough, is it actually moving the chunks around? Does have chunks that it just leaves alone because they're from important system files?

Yeah it seems to simulate all of that. And in the settings you can choose drive size and speed.

Now do the Windows XP one. I used to love watching the lines go from purple to blue...

The display of the read operations (green boxes) are sadly missing.

Lol, no, no they weren't. But I appreciate your nostalgic take nonetheless.

I had to automate all this stuff via scripting and tools back then - Win2k and XP reduced so much maintenance and risk.

Not in my case. Maybe you got too impatient with the C drive, but eventually you do see it there as well. Other drives are quicker and smaller, so you see it better there.
