5TB HDD only showing 561GB capacity on Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H
Hi Gang,
I've had the OS installed on the SSD for over a year now without a hitch. After hooking up the new HDD, I am faced with the problem in the title. Interestingly, during POST, it indicates that the capacity should be 5TB. The specs of the computer are:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 630 @ 2.8GHz (stock)
RAM: 4GB G.Skill DDR3-1600
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H (F9 BIOS)
Graphics Card: Integrated
PSU: Antec Earthwatts 380W
Case: Antec NSK-3480
HDD1: Kingston 60GB SSD (System)
HDD2: Western Digital 5TB Green EZRX (Storage)
OS: Windows 7 Pro
Please see the below screenshots for confirmation of my issue. I've tried formatting the drive (GPT) but the capacity stays at 561GB. Nothing turns up on Google too I've had a look at "WD Advanced Format HDD" but I'm not required to run "WD Align".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time :)
