howdy all.....
What's the deal with hard drive sizes ???
Yesterday, I set up 2 x SEAGATE 80gig SATA hard disks on RAID with my INTEL
865 PERLL board....
After setup, I`m noticing that I`m missing 11gig out of my supposedly 160gig
raid setup.....
Total space available on the freshly NTFS formatted drives was 149gig.....
Originally , I was running only one drive for a few weeks which was missing
about 6gig. of space....
I just bought this other one and set them up together on raid and now it`s
missing 11gig...
Seems to me I`m getting shafted on what I`m actually paying for....
I did use a Western Digital 80gig. drive a while ago on my previous machine
and that was no where near as bad as these.....
also , the Seagate`s are quite noisy compared to the western digital....
So much for improvements / upgrades..........
Thanks guys....
