I have a folder on one of my SSD drives that takes 8 to 10 hours to back

altogether, and there are 580,000 files here. Indicates that per file
it's using up a little bit over half of a cluster on average. File
system is NTFS.

Meanwhile, this same drive can backup the remainder of the drive in
under 2 hours, and the remainder of the drive is 390 GB! Is NTFS this
inefficient for small files like this?

Have you tried to "defragment" the drive ?



Since the folder is on an SSD, fragmentation shouldn't make any difference.
