Thread: The amount of hard drive is less than the claimed

I bought your hard drive WD2500BEVE. This HDD 2.5 "PATA interface, the volume of 250 GB. When you are connected to different computers with different OSes and different ways - directly to the Note, and, through conversion to the USB ports, all show the same thing - 128 GB (131070 MB), i.e. . . The volume is almost two times less than claimed. Bios on your computer with advanced screws. As screw 128 GB works perfectly well - is divided into sections, formatting, keep installed, Note, loaded, but why so little, why no one saw all the 250 GB? Do not give what's the matter? Go return?

We can help mhdd or similar utilities not whether HPA (forcible circumcision tank top), if withdrawal will not help hpa or similar procedures are too complicated for you, please contact the warranty.

You were absolutely right. The utility actually showed restriction NDA, the block address LBA much smaller than the limit. Restoring to factory settings, all earned formatted to 250 GB. Remained curiosity when, where, why it happened.
Thank you for your help!
