Greetings All,
I have just assumed a new position in another organization, and it looks like they have not had a storage administrator for quite some time. After my initial review of their storage, I have found the following problem, and before I raise the red flag, I want to be sure that I can fix it.
A large majority of their hard drives, 1TB+ have a Effective Size of 20.5MB. This seems way out of proportion. Luckily, no data exist on these drives.
Therefore, and correct me if I am wrong, but to bring them up to their correct effective size, all I need to do is format each drive so that they will adjust to the proper size. If I am off the mark, which is a good possibility, please correct me, but they are wasting a ton of storage space and are considering purchasing more.
Thanks in advance for the support.
James
