Feature Description
While czkawka performs very well for scanning an SSD for duplicates, it can slow down to a crawl when presented with an HDD with hundreds of thousands of small files. To reduce seek times, czkawka should optionally allow reading the files in the order that they are stored in the hard drive.

On Windows, this can be implemented using the FSCTL_GET_RETRIEVAL_POINTERS IOCTL.
