Heh! After thinking about this for awhile, I started wondering what values my ol' G4 400 Gigabit was seein' on the 160GB Seagate drive that I installed a couple of years ago. The reason, the limitations for HDs with this era machine.
Yep, I partitioned it into three equal volumes and got the following from "Get Info." #1 - 49.55GB #2 - 49.55GB #3 - 49.55GB Then I remember vaguely someone mentioning that partitioning is the workaround to achieve the full potential of this drive so I guess that a total value of just under 150GB proves that out with the rest of the missing capacity just being consumed by "overhead." Interesting point: System Profiler lists this drive as having a total capacity of 128GB which would be its unpartitioned capacity. Oh well, just something to break up the morning...
