QuestionI just received and installed this for my XBox and before I put a single thing on it, it already say 7.2 Tbyte free thought this was 8 Tbyrte..
Asked 5 years ago by Burky.
- Answer Hi Burky, Thanks for choosing the WD Black D10 for XBox. Please know to determining drive capacity can be confusing at times because of the different measurement standards that are often used. When dealing with Windows and Mac based systems, you will commonly see both decimal measurements and binary measurements of a drive's capacity. In either case, a drive's capacity is measured by using the total number of bytes available on the drive. As long as the drive displays the correct number of bytes (approximate), you are getting the drive's full capacity. Please refer to the link mentioned below. "Drive displays a smaller capacity than the indicated size on the drive label" https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16656 Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.
