Thanks, the 1TB SanDisk Ultra II ssd started out as 883 or 886GB. This is my son's quad-boot computer. I started building the system with a 1TB Toshiba hdd and divided it into four 232.9GB partitions for the different operating systems and then cloned that drive to the SanDisk ssd using Acronis True Image, which scales partition size if necessary. The result was that the partitions on the ssd were each about 10GB smaller than the hdd partitions and there was no unallocated space on the ssd. I have a similar computer under construction for my daughter and will pay more attention to the hdd and ssd storage capacity differences on it. Josh * * *
