1 TB USB Drive Is Errored

I’m not sure when I’ll get to the store nor when I’ll get the $ for it though.

Will mark solved for now, if you require further assistance please contact a staff member who can reopen it for you.

I got my 1 TB Drive today but I got cheated out of 69 GB, so instead of 1 TB I got 931 GB instead. 931 GB is enough for me. I’ll make due w/ it. It came from this company> https://www.seagate.com/
I’m pretty much used to not getting the actual space size when I get USB’s or external Hard Drive’s. I’ve ran into those problem so many times I’ve gotten used to it.
Although I did send Seagate an email asking them why 69 GB got taken off of it. But 931 GB will do me fine.

Are you running windows on the HDD?

I’m running Windows on my main PC, not the External Drive. I have all my backed up files on the External Drive. I 1st noticed the 931 GB when I 1st attached it to my PC.

Ok ,at any rate all HDD’s,flash drive’s and SD cards are the same,that 69g is probably software that comes with these drives.. Probably SDD’s too.

I’m going to have the Ex-Drive compressed over night hoping that will cover the 69 GB I didn’t get.

That is normal, don’t make a big deal out of it.

If the drive is not big enough buy a bigger drive

I’m fine w/ what I got. I’ll think about if it gets damaged in the future though.

Do you consider this solved?

[Eddie_Paul_Litz]

Yeah till I need it again.
