I am a small packrat, and have about 36TB of unsorted data spanning about 20 spinners and SSDs.

I would like to index and sort the directory structures of each into a consolidated list.

I've looked at DupGuru and Everything as well as few others in the DH Wiki but there still seems to be some camps of just code it yourself.

I'm just short of writing a Powershell script to index each with, Drive Serial, Drive Capacity, Drive Model, file name, file size, file hash, and log each file on each drive into a consolidated list and reading that raw data into Excel. Sorting things and stacking things instead of making piles is a nightmare for me, and a skill I'm slowly grinding through learning. What software would you personally use to scan and categorize your (unsorted) files across several hard drives that aren't connected simultaneously?
