Good afternoon
I have a 500GB external drive connected.
When I’m browsing my recordings it tells me 3% available.
When I view the disk in Settings>Storage it tells me 50GB available.
Why is there such a large discrepancy and which number is correct?
I was wondering whether the disk has become fragmented after 3 years of use. Humax has suggested a Factory Reset but I don’t intend to do that.
Thanks in advance.

I don’t know for certain but Linux reserves 5% of the storage space for use by user “root”; different routines will include or exclude the 5% figure. Also you have the problem of not knowing whether the calculation are being done in GB or GiB. Interesting to hear from other users of the HB-1100S whether they see the same issue?

I don’t think fragmentation is the issue.
