So showed capacity is less than the hard drive marked capacity. This calculates capacity indication of a hard disk at 1GB =1000MB, but a calculation on the OS is calculated at 1GB =1024MB. For example: Three 400GB combined into one hard disk, the disk space is 1.2TB, after the operation system formatting, the differences as below: HardDisk OS
