Im working with an eaststore 10TB external HDD.
Im coppied the data from two other external HDDs to the eassystore.
The total amount of copied data should have reached about 6+ TB but Im seeing two different numbers when I use properties to look at the used disk space.
When I select properties on the drive it shows me 5.45TB used/3.64TB free space
The data is all contained in a folder/directory that is at the top of the hierarchy on the easystore.
Data in that directory is stored in files, and folders/directories.
When I click properties on the top most file that contains all the rest it shows me 2.08TB used on the disk.
When I go one level down to click on the files under the first level )which also consists of files and folders/directories) it shows me 4.65 TB used.
What is the reason for the discrepancies? Have I lost data somewhere? Is the drive bad? Do I need to return it?
