My attempt to move a folder containing 1.5TB of files from a WD 6TB SATA HDD (model # WD60EZRZ-00RWYB1) that was in a previous Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Edition rig is seen as 3.63TB to my Crucial P3 4TB (model # CT4000P3SSD8) in my current Windows 11 x64 Home Edition Version 23H2 Build 22631.3085 rig. What are potential reasons this occurs and how can I prevent this during future transfers?
