Summary

In this article we have explored a quicker approach in retrieving site collection size entries. I hope the information is useful and please note that the preceding information is available through Central Administration as well. The method StorageManagementInformation() is a deprecated one and should not be used with very large row count parameters, as it may raise memory issues. The source code for the article is attached.
The Squadron tool is free and it contains other utilities too for working with SharePoint 2010. In the future I believe there will be more and more utilities available as the Squadron core is built using a plugin based architecture.
