"How about actually plotting the drives at their correct position rather than stacking them neatly?"

It would be one big mess of overlapping stuff. I can code an option for that if there is demand for it.

Yes it would have that problem, but it would have the advantage of conveying useful information. How about plotting smaller points and providing the image and info on rollover -- the tiny icons don't serve much purpose.

Differentiating USB3 vs. USB2 would probably be informative too.

Whilst such a graph would certainly have the advantage of displaying the data accurately, do bear in mind that it would have the disadvantage of not looking like a partridge.

YES, that would help as currently you can see 256GB drives beneath 64GB ones in the capacity axis (which is terrible).
