I just got a 2TB SSD and I'm trying to transfer some files from my desktop to it. It's showing an error message saying there's not enough space on the source folder, even though only 16GB of the SSD is used. The file I'm trying to copy is a 23GB video. Is the large size of the file causing the problem? Also, the error references the folder I'm copying from rather than the SSD. What's going on here?

You might want to check the file system of your SSD. If it's formatted to FAT32, that could be an issue since it has a 4GB file size limit. Also, using a fake SSD could be a possibility if you bought it from an untrusted source. Formatting it to exFAT or NTFS could solve that problem. Just double-check how you're formatting your drive!
I'm using Windows 11 and formatted it to exFAT by default. Does that help?
