Are you 100% sure it has the exact same number of sectors? While more recently, most vendors have settled on the IDEMA calculation for number of available sectors, some drives sold into retail and/or some models may not follow this, leaving you with a slightly different number. The "IDEMA" size for a 500GB disk is 976,773,168 sectors. That Samsung drive would be about 13,000 sectors short, if your other disks are IDEMA sized. FYI, the formula is: sectors = 97696368 + (1953504 * ((Size in GB) - 50)) -- Eric D.
