Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
Mythic+ Dungeon Adjustments - 27 April
Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
MMO-Champion
Good evening.
I have 2 st1000dm003 seagate drives in good health which I was planning to run in raid. Initially both showed the same capacity of 1.00TB/931.51GiB. Firmware for the first one is AP18 (apple) and the second one was CC44. So the second one I updated to CC49 (which was the recommended update) and it changed the capacity to 997.93TB/929.39GiB.
While the loss is minuscule - I was still curious - but could not find anything online on the issue. Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you format it?
It could be a simple display error, a system reserved hidden partition or sectors might have been reallocated/marked pending/uncorrectable. Did you check S.M.A.R.T. status?

No secondary partitions, SMART was green and no bad sectors before or after firmware update. I was trying to locate some actual documentation relating to cc49 firmware but no luck on that front either.

Given that (and no documentation to speak of), best guess is more went towards reserve sectors honestly.

Seems like the most logical conclusion. Thanks. Originally Posted by abracmike
