It's unlikely your copies have issues, but please, run some comparisons. It is important that you trust your data moves and you shouldn't take my or anybody else's word for this. KB, MB and GB figures may be rounded differently and sometimes defined differently (recent versions of OS X use base 10 math, same as hard drive vendors). 3) You should compare the numbers in bytes. FTP file copy may alter the encoding of text files, depending on the settings used. thumbs.db), NTFS alternate stream metadata things that shouldn't be copied, can't be copied (in the case of the NTFS alternate streams and a non-NTFS destination) or may be automatically created at the destination.

This is usually related to small system files (e.g. 2) 'Size,' which is the sum of file sizes, should typically be the same, but small discrepancies there (and also in the file count) are possible without anything bad going on. It is rounded up to a multiple of the file system block size used for each file, which you can expect to be different.

This is what I would expect: 1) Windows folder properties will display two numbers: size, and 'size on disk' - the size on disk being different is perfectly normal.

I have done numerous file migrations for personal and professional projects, between Windows and non-Windows systems, local and networked storage. I'm inclined to agree with MrVideo that there probably is no cause for concern, although I am a bit unclear on what you are seeing as well.

If anyone else is experiencing this or knows what the problem/answer is then please can you respond?

I have tried using different file transfer software such as Teracopy and Copy Handler to see if they can help but the result is predictably still the same. These differences is making the system very unreliable and possibly prone to file loss. I also note that Windows properties does not include containing folders in its file size count it reports the number of files contained within the folder but on the Ext4 NAS drive the size count also includes and adds the containing folder/s in the count and the sizes are very different. If the containing Folder is saved to another Windows formatted drive then the folder/file size is equal and there are no problems so the difference seems to be between the two different drive formats. I also found that the larger the original Windows folder including sub folders becomes then the larger is the size discrepancy between the copy on the NAS and the original and that's totally crazy.

When I compare the properties of the original and the copy there is a difference in file and folder size as seen with Windows Properties option reading the 'Size' info. My NAS system is a TS451+ so I am very worried about this issue and if I should consider returning the drive back to the supplier? THE PROBLEM SIMPLY STATED I copied an NTFS Windows folder containing a single file over to my NAS drive which I believe was formatted in Ext4. can anyone please explain what the errors are and if it has been resolved. I have seen people describing this problem on the internet and it appears to have been around for some years now.
