    16TB vs 14.5TB

    Drive works and performs as advertised, but gets reported by Windows and other operating systems as 14.5TB, not 16TB - which is roughly a 10% difference between “advertised” and reported capacity. This brings to forefront the difference between how the manufacturers state drive capacity, and how the OS calculates it: Manufacturers 1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes Operating System: 1TB = 1,099,510,000,000 bytes (1024^4) Seems a little shady, but all hard drive manufacturers use this math “trick” in an attempt to push themselves to to top in drive capacity wars.

    So far, it has operated fine. It's not the fastest, but it is backing up my data. It is a little noisy, but that doesn't really bother me.

    This is an excellent CMR drive. I use 6 of these in my Synology SD1621+. They work well and stay relatively quiet. Highly recommend to get many of these as you can when they're on sale.
