*Windows-Problem*
use of binary-filesize, but shows decimal prefix.
Examples:
250 GB-HDD, Windows shows 250*109 / 230 = 232.83 GiB
2 TB-HDD, Windows shows 2*1012 / 240 = 1.819 TiB
16 TB-HDD, Windows shows 16*1012 / 240 = 14.552 TiB
(if MS Windows displays, that your 1TB-HDD has ~931GB, everything is alright ;) )
