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.

Both mine took 23 hours, one external, one shucked.
No reason to reboot and hope. Anything questionable or sketchy means the disk is not safe to use. They don't heal themselves.
I guess a large fan moving 25-30 CFM overwhelms that.
When I was testing the external drive I and saw it was up to 54C, I pointed a spare USB-clock fan https://www.amazon.com/Clock-Fan-...B07KWW3MCZ at the back ventilation slots and the temp dropped. Seems all it really needs is just some external air movement.
I am still waiting for my drive. I ordered it pretty late.
I'm too lazy to read through 50 pages to see if anyone already said as much.

When I first plug it in, it make a flurry of little "thuds" when the head seeks, as Windows is recognizing the disk. I think that is long seeks. When I copy a file on the disk to the same disk it makes little "clicks", I think these are short seeks.
When I "cmp" these two files, it makes a steady stream of little clicks, sounds like a door hinge that needs oil. That's got to be the heads seeking back and forth.
edit: Yup. I created another partition at the end of the drive, copied the file to it, and the "cmp" makes "thud" sounds. That's got to be long seeks.
Other than that, there is only the hum of the rotation motor.
I have to put my ear next to the enclosure to hear any of this.
Probably what you hear is Windows doing file indexing. I have disabled the indexing service, so that never happens.
See the issue I had is I have the same drive except 8TB, I had it connected to my XBOX ONE X for years, never a problem..last october 2019 when microsoft released some xbox update, even with the xbox off(It was always on instant on mode but still off) the drive every 2 minutes would make a clicking and humming sound then turn off, so annoying..so was concerned that it would happen again with this drive I want to get a drive for the xbox one series x
