What takes up more space on your hard drive? One text file with 2,000 words or 10 text files with 200 words each?

Tip for best answer: M$0.67
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Whether you try it out yourself or not, it certainly the 10 files with 200 words got the highest KB used. It is because electronic equipment such as computer measures KB files according to how many files saved on it, not specifically on the number of words it covers.

Hi,

I don't exactly know the answer to your question. But I did a simple experiment and came up with this.

I created a text document with 100 words, saved the file and created 10 copies of that file. The total size came up as 4180 Bytes. But it took 40KB of size on disk.

Then I created another text document with 1000 words and saved it and checked the size. The size was 4198 bytes. But it only took 8KB of size on the disk.

According to this, the answer to your question will be 10 files of 200 words will take more space.

Hope this helps ! :)
