I'd rather not do the copy again unless necessary, as it took a day.
Directories look identical, but who knows? I'm going to try and figure out how
to do a file-by-file crc check, for peace of mind.
try "du --apparent-size -slh"
It should rule out any differences caused by sparse files and hardlinks.

In addition to the questions below, if anyone has a chance could you advise on
why my destination drive has more data than the source after this command:
# rsync --hard-links --delete --inplace --archive --numeric-ids /media/disk/*
/home
Are you SURE you don't get the command mixed up? The last argument to
rsync should be the destination. Your command looks like you're
copying things to /home.
What is also important is that use of * - it means all the . files at
the top level are NOT being copied
rsync is clever enough to notice if you have the / at the end of the
source to know whether you want the directory to be put into the
destination or the contents of the directory. The / at the end of the
source means copy the contents.
This could be (I am not sure of the exact scope of --delete) the reason
why the destination has more data than the source. If --delete is not
deleting /home/.* files (if there any there).
