Quote from TaLLMidget : Roughly yes but it will format to slightly less than 2 TB I have a 2 TB Seagate that formatted to 1.81 TB

Haha I know, I'm just being sarcastic. But thanks anyway.

Taking the drives out of the enclosure voids the warranty for Hitachi as well?

now priced $114.98 and still out of stock

Its because windows and hardware manufacturers differ on what one KB is.

yes opening the enclosure voids the warranty, so the trick is to remove the drive without leaving any marks that would indicate that the case had been opened.

Quote from falleng0d : Its because windows and hardware manufacturers differ on what one KB is.

Actually they differ on how they can legally define a KB (1000 bytes or 1024 bytes).

kil·o·byte (kl-bt)
n. Abbr. K or KB
1. A unit of computer memory or data storage capacity equal to 1,024 bytes.
2. One thousand bytes.

Kilo means a thousand but generally a KB is referred to as 2 to the 10th power bytes = 1024 bytes. Computer purists use 1024, advertising people use 1000 as it means they can say they are offering more than they really are. It is almost universally accepted now that HW drive manufacturers use the 1000 byte definition.
