    Why are JPEG files after being transferred to a new My Book external drive so much larger...


    I have a new 14tb Western Digital My Book external hard drive and when I transfer folders of JPEG picture files to it from other drives the 'Size on disk' in Properties shows the JPEG files are much larger than they actually are. Is this some sort of formatting issue? Something to do with the sectors? Does anyone know how to correct this? All picture files under 1MB, like one that says 'Size' is 274KB, are showing up as 1MB in 'Size on disk'. How can I keep the files their actual size when transferring?

    :)

Offered standalone, or in a kit that includes a USB 3.0 PCIe (gen2) adapter card, the 1 TB My Book 3.0 drive is available now at select retailers and shopwd.com. The 2 TB model is expected later this week.

    The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface on My Book 3.0 drives provides transfer rates of up to 5 gigabits-per-second, allowing users to open and save files up to 4.7 times faster than USB 2.0. The new My Book 3.0 drive is compliant with the USB-IF SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard to provide compatibility with other USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 products. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.

    Error when transferring files to external hard drive

    I will give these steps a try and see if I have any luck.

    Multiple files I have previously transferred to this hard drive are much larger than 4 GB with no issues.
