Earlier today, while browsing the Mac app store, I stumbled upon the Hard Disk app that includes desktop widgets that allows for at a glance storage readouts for all of your connected drives. My thought was "Cool, I'll give it a try".

After installing it...I'm realizing that it's almost what I need but I'm now on the lookout and hunt for better alternatives.

My issue is that I dont need to see the .timemachine, Recovery drive or local snapshots readouts but there isn't a way to hide/modify or unselect those in the preferences window of the app so I'm wondering if there is another app that will do what I'm looking for. I also tried using different widgets and none of those provided any better options.

The one thing I wish things like this had is proportional bars that show the relative sizes of the drives.
