Unless I botched my math horribly, the actual space should be something like 903.35gb.

1000 GB (listed in press release) * 1000 MB per GB =1*10^6
1*10^6 / 1024 = 976.5625 GB real size
Divide that by 1024 again and you get about 5% less "real" HD space than advertised (and bear in mind that this is for a blank disk, not a formated one.)

Perhaps this summer when the 1.2 TB drives are released we will get our first "actual" TB drive.

Why not?
Guy reading over my shoulder thinks it's because there's supposedly a limit to how much space XP can format or something. He doesn't really know what he's talking about and neither do I.

It has more to do with how Windows or the BIOS reads the hard drive's sectors, and isn't too relevant in modern computers, since we've more or less gotten around the majority of old hard disk limitations. Clicky.

There are some technical limitations preventing NTFS being used on volumes formated as "basic" which are greater than 2 terrabytes in size.
"Dynamic" formated volumes dont have this limitation

1 TB = 1000 GB = 10^6 MB = 10^9 KB = 10^12 B
Also,
1 TB = 1000 GB ~= 931.32 GiB (which presumably is what you're wanting)
A 1 TiB drive would be 2^40 bytes or 1.0995 TB

Hrmm, thought my math may have been a bit off. I got that number when I ran it through the first time but it didn't seem quite right for some reason. Ah well.

I was actually wrong and used a rough conversion factor. I've corrected it above (10^12/2^30 = 931.32 GB)

You're all still wrong. It's (10^12 / 2^30) Gigabytes. Comes out to 931 GB.

Ahem.

This figure, however, does not account for the 8 Megabytes that windows requires to be left unpartitioned to function. Assuming the drive is used with Windows.
An actual 1 terabyte drive would have to be 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. Or 1.1 TB on the box to actually format to a terabyte.

I'm looking forward to it.

Due to many features requiring 4kb clusters, and the MBR, the max size is ~2TB. You see this issue come up every now and again when people at ARS talk about large RAID arrays under Windows.

You shouldnt need to. File fragmentation only occurs when the drive is very full.

Wait, so what happens if you manually specify a larger cluster size when you format a volume?

The builtin compression and encryption stop working, cant remember if anything else breaks
