[QUOTE="Peakoverload, post: 381043, member: 27271"] Umm, is this right? I boought a 750GB external hard drive when I bought my Mac a few months ago but I just looked at it and Finder is saying that it's capacity is only 596.18GB (it's formatted as HFS+). Now I know that any drive once formatted is going to be smaller than unformatted capacit but to loose the best part of 153GB to formatting seems a tad excessive, doesnt it? :confused: [/QUOTE]
