File Size

[NightCrawler]

891 MB (934,922,240 bytes) = Size

891 MB (934,924,288 bytes) = Size on Disk

913,010 KB ============ Column measure ?


I understand the first two but why does the column have a different measure ?

934,922,240 bytes / 1024 = 913,010 KB
913,010 KB / 1024 = 891 MB

Simple. What I don't get is the Size on Disk 😛

Maybe the result of fragmentation and cluster sizes as well as properties of the file and whatnot?

"Size on disk" is from the number of allocation units required to store the actual file size.

I wish they would measure everything in megabytes instead of 913, 010 KB.

yup, because of how small the difference between actual size and size on disk, i'd say it's 1 or 2 files.

if you had many small files, that difference would increase.
