Both have

  • 216,540 files
  • 52,103 folders
  • Size: 278 GB (299,363,715,785 bytes)

But for one hard drive the size on disk is 278 GB (299,672,182,784 bytes) and for another it's 278 GB (299,672,211,456 bytes) bytes).

That's a difference of 28,672 bytes or 28.67KB.

Why?

  • How are these *"identical folders on two different hard drives"* created (e.g. is one a copy of the other)? Are the two drives & filesystems otherwise identical (e.g. same filesystem parameters)? – sawdust Oct 18 '20 at 22:53
  • What method did you use to confirm the 2 folders are identical? Maybe a couple hidden files weren't copied. Maybe one of the 216,540 files was truncated? – cybernard Oct 18 '20 at 23:20
  • I opened the folder's properties. File Explorer told me so. I have also synchronised both folders with DSynchronize. The file system on both external hard drives are NTFS. http://dimio.altervista.org/eng/#DSynchronize – desbest Oct 18 '20 at 23:27
