Hi all,
This is something I've often wondered about but never tried to find out
- why is it that when you buy a 400GB drive, hook it up to your
motherboard, you only get say 370GB? This is before it's been formatted
or anything.
I don't normally mind/notice the loss, but I've just built a RAID array,
and it was a bit of a shock that all I ended up with was 1.8TB instead
of 2.0TB.
TIA
