14TB WD Easystore External USB 3.0 Hard Drive EXPIRED

Quote from IIII : Mine says 12.7 to. is that normal for a 14tb drive after formated?

Quote from MadPup : 1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes (terabyte = 1000^4) 1TiB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (tebibyte = 1024^4) 1TB/1TiB = 0.9095 tebibytes per terabyte 14TB * 0.9095 = 12.73 TiB

Quote from pnguye70 : Windows, however, sticks to the 1024 rule, which means it sees a 250GB hard drive as 232GB, and a 1TB drive as 931GB.This explains why hard drives appear to have a lower capacity than advertised.A 1TB hard drive has the capacity to store 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Divide this by 1024 and you get 976,562,500KB. Divide by 1024 again and you get 953,674.3MB. Finally, divide by 1024 to get gigabytes and you end up with 931.32GB and so similar way you can calculate the process of 1 MB and 1024kb.

You can also use CrystalDiskInfo to confirm the disk model and capacity.
