4TB Disk Win Properties capacity smaller than Disk Manager.
Hello all
I just installed a 4TB disk to my system which is now the biggest one I have ever installed.
I setup all things correct as best I know and by all the defaults and as one partition and the disk is showing in the Win disk manager utility as working correctly with saying there its final formatted capacity is 3725.90G.
Also would say I have found that to be the capacity listed for a few other things that show what it's supposed to have.
But yet when I go to Windows Explorer and click on the disk properties there, it shows its capacity at only 3.63TB.
So am trying to figure out why it is smaller there than any other place?
Note, just to be clear, I am not talking about anything with the free or used space of the disk, and or its native listed capacity of 4TB, but the listed full formatted capacity level of the disk, and really why it is less in the Windows Explorer disk properties then any other place.
Also would note that for all the other disks I have in this system, including a 3TB and two 1TB drives, those all show the correct match for this.
Lastly to note, I have try several quick re-formats of the drive, as well as a complete zero write to it, and after it's always the same.
So does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks greatly for any help
