[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1113389, member: 46727"] OK, the mystery deepens... If the drives are not registering their correct sizes on more than one Mac, we can assume the problem is with the drives not the computers. That's why I asked if you could test the drives on a PC to see what happens. It's possible that the drives were partitioned and have unpartitioned space left over but Disk Utility should show the full size of the drives regardless. Off hand I'd say you have a couple of defective drives. [/QUOTE]
