Anyone here using the Seagate 500GB 7200.11 32MB SATA2 HDD? I been having numerous problem on it and been troubleshooting for the main culprit and no luck so far sad.gif

Always having disk read error... failed with paging the hdd... iastor error (AHCI & RAID only)... and ntfs error... now I'm reformatting and setting back to SATA IDE mode. Lets see what's next... shakehead.gif

(advertise value x 1000 x 1000 x 1000) divide by (1024 x 1024 x 1024 (or 1073741824) = equals to the size/value detect by the OS

eg: (120GB x 1000 x 1000 x 1000) / (1024 x 1024 x 1024) = 111.75GB  >>> 8.25GB lost from 120GB

*advertise value (such as 80GB, 120GB, 160GB, 250GB, 320GB and so on)
ps: correct me if i'm wrong sweat.gif

yes you are correct!

btw, anyone know how much the difference between 16MB and 32MB HD cache for us end user? I tried storagereview.com and google but cant find it.

every piece of hdd.... no matter wat brand ... new one(juz came out from factory) or old one ... big or small capacity... 3.5'' or 2.5''.... wil hav certain amount of bad sectors... juz dat it is marked ( another word used is 'fixed' which i don like) to not being detected or being used so dat data written wil not corrupted. Some software claimed dat it is capable to recover or fix (again i don like diz word), but the fact behind it is still marking the bad cluster not fixing it, 'fix' is making a thing bec to normal n useable...
