Ok I know you never get %100 of the advertised space of a HD but 35 gbs that is insane:upset: . I ordered a 500 gb Maxtor and only got 465gbs, thats only %93 of the advertised space!!! A %93 is like an -A in school, for the $$$ i spent on this I would at least like to get a high A like %95 to %98 of the advertised space.
What is up with the actual being SO far off of the advertised? Is there some type of built in backup space to cover sections that go bad:4-dontkno . OR do these manafactures think they can take us to town on these cause they think we won't miss the extra 35 gbs? Please someone help me rationalize this becuase Im losing my faith in Maxtor. Are all the manafactures like this?
EDIT: If this is just their "error" why are other smaller dives only off a few gbs and not like half the drive?
