Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the NTFS file system uses a file allocation table to track file locations?

No. Reference material describes the File Allocation Table as belonging to the FAT file system, and states FAT was replaced by NTFS; other sources describe NTFS file tracking via the Master File Table rather than a file allocation table.
