Thanks for pointing this out to me, I did not know about it, is it new? I remember a few years ago when I would start "Disks" in Ubuntu it would open the "baobab" tool. Might be just an unfortunate naming colision...
A few years ago Ubuntu was still using Unity.
I just tried it and got some crazy high numbers for a VM image mounted on an external USB drive. Something seems off about how it is assessing caching.
