My friend bought 3 seagate expansion each of 2TB from china and apparently it seems like he has been cheated.
It is not possible to format it in ntfs (it shows unable to complete format)
So goes with exfat and it shows 1.81 TB in windows disk management BUT i have easeus data partition and speccy from piriform which shows only 55GB
So to check it i copied a total file size of 62 gb and apparently copying stopped at 55gb and shows requested sector not found
I dont know how to upload a pic so i will give the spec it shown in speccy
