Hi

I've got 2 WD360 Raptor SATA drives.....but I'm very confused!!

Both have the same firmware version 35.06k35....however they are
reporting different sizes!!

One is reporting 71700 (Approx) Clusters and the other 69700 (approx)
clusters!!

So one reports as 36Gb and the other as 37GB.

Any other Raptor owners out there who can check their drives and let me
know what they get please.

TIA

P

I have four such drives, with sequential serial numbers. I didn't
notice anything like that with them.

What number of clusters do you have and what firmware please (you can
check using the utils from the WD site).
