Maybe you have to delete the file and re-copy it several times to get an accurate measurement?
I'd like to know how the C:, D: and 67% No Dedup fare with the SF compression as well....but with just 64GB resolution from SMART, I'd probably have to write 2-4TB of each of them (without writing anything else to the drive) to get any meaningful numbers. At just 44.9GB, 23.8GB, and 8.14GB respectively, that's a ton of repetition

If there's a way to do this without copying, pasting, and deleting 100s of times, I'm all ears.
