I've got brand new SanDisk External SSD 500GB drive (SDSSDE80-500G-A25) (I'm aware that not ALL of 500GB is available for direct use), speed are fine, but what I gather almost immediately, is strange calculation of free size on that drive. Basic calculation gives me that sizes are 5.5 times larger that it should be!
Here is calculations:
I've know for sure that all of those files can't be more than 70 GB, since I've copied them from another external drive (HDD), and there they use not more than 70 GB.
I've attached screenshots from Mac (slightly edited tho, since my main language is not English, so I've renamed key labels to English), but it's not tight to Mac issue, I've tried Windows as well, Total Commander gave the same results, then I've run WinDirStat, and it calculated about right..
I've tried reformat drive, both from mac and windows. Doesn't help.
Maybe I'm missing something, but will appreciate any help&information, thanks in advance!
