• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Huh?

I do not understand how this is possible:

As you can see, I have an external hard drive. The drive is contains 1 folder. The drive is at 211gb used, but the folder is at 187. There's no hidden files/etc.

Any ideas?
 
The left window only reports the space that the files themselves take. On the right-hand side the filesystem overhead (metadata, journal) is included. 8400 files and 1700 directories imply a significant amount of metadata. Further, some filesystems like FAT32 do not merge multiple small files into one block/cluster, hence files smaller than the blocksize are going to waste some space. I can't comment on the capabilities of NTFS however.
