[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1009571, member: 24098"] A 4TB drive means that there are two physical 2TB volumes. The volumes must be in RAID0 to have that kind of capacity. If you changed the RAID configuration to RAID1, then you effectively halve the capacity because one drive is simply a mirror of the other. Not sure why it happened to change to 3.8TB available on your Windows machine unless of course you happened to switch it to RAID0 and didn't realize what you had done. Your Mac Mini shouldn't have a problem addressing that space, provided the drive is configured properly. [/QUOTE]
