![]() Why does this happen? Well, the FAT32 file system needs to keep track of where each file is stored. If each file averaged 2 KB, you’d get about 100 MB total – but you’re also wasting 15x that (30 KB per file) on average due to the allocation unit size. The space each file takes on the disk is always a multiple of the allocation unit size – and here we’re assuming each file is actually small enough to fit within a single unit, with some (wasted) space left over. Ok, now the minimum space taken is 50,000 * 32,000 = 1.6 GB (using SI prefixes, not binary, to simplify the maths).
