  • Size on disk will be larger than the size reported back as it is taking the sectors actually allocated on disk into account. As for the Windows size and what SQL is reporting being different, not sure. I wonder if Windows is taking any file header information into account that does not get reported by SQL?

    I would be interested in the answer to this as well.
