  Perhaps the sentence could be reworded completely to reflect the intent.
I'm assuming it would be something like:

  "How much NTFS bookkeeping data is required (which the system puts inside
the MFT zone) if you have 750000 small files?"

  Or if we ask the same thing a bit differently: "How many files can you
have in an NTFS partition before a 1MB MTF zone gets full?"
