    EquinzE got a reaction from HARDWELL9191 in Two external HDDs show difference of 200GB usage with the same data?   
    Redownloading that much on a connection like mine is out of the question xD
    Thanks for the help. My concern wasn't whether I could resume the torrent but whether it's going to add on top of the storage it had already used up or preallocated, since it's weird the other drive didn't do the same, but this is not as serious of an issue as I thought so it's not worth keeping this topic open.
    Anyway thanks for the help guys.

    Are they formatted differently, e.g. one NTFS and one ExFAT? Also even with the same filesystem you can choose different cluster sizes, and if your content consists of many small files a drive formatted with large clusters will have way more overhead loss.
     
    You can use TreeSize Free as admin to scan both drives and compare to see if there are files on one you're missing.

    Amazing advice there... seriously OP I recommend getting a cooling pad for long sessions if it's getting hot.

    There are average builds. then there are rediculously expensive over the top builds, then there is this. You my friend have created a new category of old look but kickass builds - congrats, this looks AMAZING! The time and dedication you put into the build is definitely visible from the looks of the build.

    Hello all! Long time LTT fan, new to the forum. I wanted to share my build, as it's really been a labor of love for the past month. I trash picked it from a local computer store in December, and it's come a long way since then.

    It started life in 21 years ago 1995 with a 486dx2 running at a mind blistering 66mhz, with a massive 4mb ram, and 1mb video memory. The 3.5 floppy disk could hold a maximum data capacity of 1.44MB. As of a few days ago, it now has a an Intel i7 6700k running at 4.3ghz, 16GB's of 3000mhz ddr4 ram, and 8GB's video memory. The 3.5 floppy drive can read up to 512GB of data from a single diskette. This was not a plug & play build. Massive amounts of cutting, fabrication, welding, grinding, a filing were required. It was awesome.

    Here's the full build with gifs for proper demonstrations of the floppy drive in action: http://imgur.com/a/fvh1M

    This is just amazing. Superb job man. Especially the floppy SD reader, that was clever.

    +1 for learning to cook. so many times I've been absolutely mauled by a girl after I cooked for her.

    WTF Nintendo? Destroying what is essentially advertising that cost you not a dime to make and ruining the community for literally nobody's benefit...?
