Post From: Sierra Charts Size on Disk vs Actual Size

I've been in touch with the Trading computers experts from where I bought this trading computer and they have told me that it's a Sierra Chart's issue because "specific size being store in the drive NTFS header allowing the data to not "take up" a cluster/block of storage, hence, not reported as On Disk (166GB) whereas the small files then take a full header causing the actual size to be dramatically larger (~600 GB). Actual size is therefore in-between the two range bounds far closer to the floor value."
