Hello,

Those of you who got remaining Empeg's from SB, did you get the size you ordered?

How can you tell what size drive you have, other than the packaging? Does SB ever label a drive as being a 20gb but send a 30gb? I thought I saw a post saying this once....

Thanks.

Start emplode, sync, look in the lower right corner... Beware of the GB = 1000^3 marketing and GB = 1024^3 that emplode uses, and the fact that a bit of space is used for creating the filesystem on the partition and some space goes to other partitions (operating system for instance).

If it's a 20gb you'll have 18.5gb free in Emplode.
