Right, which is an absolutely piss poor design decision and why every major
storage vendor right-sizes drives.  What happens if I have an old maxtor
drive in my pool whose "500g" is just slightly larger than every other mfg
on the market?  You know, the one who is no longer making their own drives
since being purchased by seagate.  I can't replace the drive anymore?
