Formatting a 1.5TB Seagate HDD

[Sean]

Hi There

I added a brand new 1.5TB drive as the internal drive and formatted it using the built in format utility. Howeve when viewing the system properties is states that I only have 1TB free drive space.  This does not seem to be correct.

Should I rather format it in my PC and then add the put the drive back?


Regards,

Not to worry - that was only a reporting error - you have not lost any drive space.
As Ormbett as indicated, this has been resolved with the latest firmware release.

Update and your HDD will show full capacity.
