After you compress a drive with DriveSpace 3, the drive's properties may
indicate that the amount of space used on the drive has increased, even
though no new files were added.
Back to the top
When you compress a drive with DriveSpace 3, a larger cluster size is used
on the drive, and small files appear to use up more space than on a drive
with smaller clusters. However, DriveSpace 3 uses an efficient allocation
method that actually frees up wasted space within clusters.

DriveSpace 3 uses 32K clusters. Most host drives less than 1 gigabyte in
size use clusters smaller than 32K.
