I've last used Samsung HDD in 2003, so not sure if this is the reason.
IIRC, there is a 32 GB clip thingie in Samsung drives, which limits the
usable disk space to 32 GB. This is tuneable using a jumper on their
HDDs. Google for '32GB Clip Samsung HDD'. Once clip is in place, drive
reports itself as 32 GB. BtW, This also used to be mentioned on the
sticker on their drives.
