Re: Scanning hard drive

It was YOUR code!

Sorry about that , but it just a class with the generic list and a string drive property

All I am doing is displaying some of the info when ScanFolder returns
But that is after the scan completes of course which is not the problem.

Any chance of seeing your code???

public class DriveData

{

private List<PieFileInfo> mList = new List<PieFileInfo>();

public List<PieFileInfo> DataList

{

get { return mList; }

set { mList = value; }

}

private string mDrive;

public string Drive

{

get { return mDrive; }

set { mDrive = value; }

}

}

Approx. 13 seconds on a 250GB disk with 30,000+ directories and 1,000,000+ files.

What is DriveData? (You omitted to post it).

What do you do with the content of DriveData when the call to ScanFolder(...) returns?

OK. Here is the class the scans the drive.

Can you see any issues here?

Bela, would you be able to post your code that scans the drive.

I am scanning 56GB in about 10 minutes.

What do you scan? I do a directory and File scan in my 100GB (64GB of data) hard drive and took 24 seconds. (Scanned every directory and every file in the drive for info).

PD: for reference 170,187 files and 21,899 folders.

Hi,

I am writing an app that scans hard drives and logs info
about every fine on the drive.

The first iteration of my code used a class and a generic list
to store the data and rhis took 13min on my 60 GB drive.

I wanted it to be quicker.

So the second time I changed the class to a struct and still
with the generic list got the time down to 4 min.

I am wondering if I can improve on this even more??

Anyone know if it would be possible to improve this
using C# or would it need to be wrritten in assembler or the like?
