    Check whether the system protection is enabled for the drive with the lesser freespace.

    Did you do a Windows backup sometime that was applied to the primary 1.5 drive and not copied over to it's backup drive?

    just fixed it, i had show hidden files enabled, but didnt have show hidden system files enabled. there was 87gb worth of system files in the recycling bin when i enabled it now theres only a 40mb difference between them.
