So Im finally on meds and organzing my life. 40 Years of video tapes, optical disks, hard drives, and more. Luckily I have a giant bucket to pour them all in.

anyway…

As ive been a scattered mess with a hoard first, sort it out later mentality, the time has come to pay that piper.

I am wondering if there is a clear favorite go to for finding and managing duplicate files, irrespective of OS. ie., not the best for windows, or best for mac, but best of best. If such a thing exists.

I guess while we are here and I am trauma dumping, if you have any cool utils for scanning harddrive contents and/or tips in general for folding it all up please do share.

Thanks in advance.
