I meant them for relative display.

In the scale column I use "MB" display. What if the low limit of the bar is adjusted to the displayed units? Meaning if I have all MB, I don't need the whole first section go down to such a B/KB detail. In this case it could be that the first section shows down to 0.01 MB, it would be the first pixel. What can be shown in numbers and no more detail.

What about creating a new column, resizable? Then we could have both the donuts which does not tak much space and the bars which would take whatever space required.

The same math is behind the circles? Here, all but two looks to me almost identical but the sizes vary quite a bit from the usability perspective while from the petabyte perspective they are dwarfs. The PB range can be mapped but I don't think it can be mapped usefully with the current style. Hmm...it'd need don't know what.
