This project aims at providing an API in .NET to gather directory/files information of an NTFS volume very efficiently. (in contrast to the classic approach like FindFirst/FindNext which is really slow on large directories.)

This project use a novel approach at gathering directory/files metadata by reading NTFS partitions directly which is many order of magnitude faster than the classic method. With this tool, I am able to gather information about 32 158 folders and 317 217 files in less than 2 seconds (reading metadata at 200MB/s on my RAID0 system). Doing this by using classic API would take several minutes to complete. The sample provides a simple fragmentation analysis and file similarity analysis based on file size.
