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 |

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.

The problem is that I plugged it into the computer and Windows did not recognize it. I went to Windows disk management and it prompted me to initialize a new drive that's only around 150gb. I tried on another computer and it was the same thing.
The box and item do not appear to have been tampered with and the other drive works fine. It's sold out at my local Best Buy and I can't even order another for replacement. I may have to reach out to WD directly.
Hopefully they don't give away the one ready for pick up ha.

I see today my store is OOS till Mid November.
I got this drive: WD140EDFZ
If needed, is a Molex adapter really a fire hazard???
