# How can I see how much of my data lives on the fast drive?

Ask Tuhi *"what did I move to the fast drive?"* for a plain-English list of moved apps and folders and where each came from. You can also look in:

- **Storage Charts** — how much of your data is on the fast drive instead of your Mac, and the trend over time.
- **Apps window → Moved / Offloaded** — apps on the drive.
- **Storage Inspector** — relocated folders, each with a way to move it back.

The figure is a measurement of what's on the drive *right now*, not a running total: it goes down when you move something back.
