I copied a folder whose contents are entirely just pics and videos from Instagram stories (total size around 159 GB), from my Samsung Galaxy S21 5G to a brand new and empty Samsung T7 external SSD. I check the occupied size on the T7, and it's about 172 GB (13 GB more)...
My guess is that the culprit is formatting differences and internal fragmentation but I just want to make sure the math reasonably adds up before deleting the folder from my phone to replenish storage space.
