What are you talking about? You posted example folder1, folder2 so the answers were provided accordingly. What is stopping you from putting the commands in a script, say "compare.sh":

i recently copied 400GB of data from a NTFS drive to a ext4 drive. I want to verify that the data is 100% identical to the original.

diff3
DIFF3(1) General Commands Manual DIFF3(1)NAME
diff3 - 3-way differential file comparison
SYNOPSIS
diff3 [ -ex3 ] file1 file2 file3
DESCRIPTION
Diff3 compares three versions of a file, and publishes disagreeing ranges of text flagged with these codes:
==== all three files differ
====1 file1 is different
====2 file2 is different
====3 file3 is different
The type of change suffered in converting a given range of a given file to some other is indicated in one of these ways:
f : n1 a Text is to be appended after line number n1 in file f, where f = 1, 2, or 3.
f : n1 , n2 c Text is to be changed in the range line n1 to line n2. If n1 = n2, the range may be abbreviated to n1.
The original contents of the range follows immediately after a c indication. When the contents of two files are identical, the contents of
the lower-numbered file is suppressed.
Under the -e option, diff3 publishes a script for the editor ed that will incorporate into file1 all changes between file2 and file3, i.e.
the changes that normally would be flagged ==== and ====3. Option -x (-3) produces a script to incorporate only changes flagged ====
(====3). The following command will apply the resulting script to `file1'.
(cat script; echo '1,$p') | ed - file1
FILES
/tmp/d3?????
/usr/lib/diff3
SEE ALSO diff(1)BUGS
Text lines that consist of a single `.' will defeat -e.
Files longer than 64K bytes won't work.
