I'm currently in the process of transferring my sound libraries from various external backup drives to a larger backup drive. A strange phenomenon has occurred during this process. I'm transferring my sound libraries from a LaCie drive to a WD My Passport, a 6-terabyte drive.
For almost all libraries, this isn’t a problem—for example, AudioBro (70 GB each) or 8Dio (180 GB each)—the libraries took up exactly the same amount of space on the different drives.
However, the situation is completely different when backing up Native Instruments libraries. On the LaCie drive, these take up 360 GB, but on the new WD drive, they’re said to be over one terabyte.
What could be the reason for this? I’ve read that one possible cause could be that the drive is formatted with clusters that are too large. But that would apply to all libraries, not just those from NI, right? Does anyone here perhaps have another suggestion as to what the reason might be? Or a tip? That would be wonderful. Thank you very much and best regards, go
