Ahh, you mean you have _a lot of_ files ("quite a few" = lot), you wrote
you have "0 81816576 MFT entries" (I thought you just made a copy-paste or
whatever mistake, it didn't make any sense). If it's indeed almost 82
million MFT entries then I don't wonder. Usually people have 30-200
thousands. Rarely I've seen a couple of millions but never 82 millions. If
it's true then you might have found an ineffciency feature in the Windows
NTFS driver.
