Now, my Story for those so inclined to want to read it:

I am not, nor have I ever been or will ever be, a tech-expert. I did not go to the Faculty of Computer Science or Info Tech, I am what you might call a tech-savvy user.

In a nutshell, I google.

Like most out there, I've been bit by the download bug, and have downloaded GBs upon GBs of movies, series, music, programs etc. It has come to the point where I have downloaded so much that I need external storage. And worse! When it comes to music, I cant remember where I saved whatever I want to listen to, so I end up downloading it again!

Eureka have a great offer atm; a sexy, 1TB "plug-&-play" external hard-disk, for 28KD!

P&P means it does not need an external power supply, as the first generation of TB HDs did.

I say sexy coz the one I picked up was red, and it comes with a nice satchel to put the HD in, and it reminds me of Iron-Man (that red!) so I called the Drive "Jarvis".

Anyhoo, I digress.

My problem was when I put all my current clutter from my PC to my Jarvis, I found several duplicate files and was mentally taking note of where they were so I can delete em and save some space (coz trust me, 1TB is NOT a lot when it comes to me).

Whilst beginning this seemingly archaic method of file separation, i thought to myself, well isnt there a program that can do this for me? And go through my files and highlight the duplicates, instead of me doing it manually?

Ask and you shall receive! Thank you google.
