Hi,

I am trying to reuse a 8TB WD Red NAS drive WD8001FFWX for desktop use.
It use to be part of a back up rig we no longer use. When trying to initialize the drive its stating capacity of 14847.98 GB which sounds like 16TB drive - the rig had two 8TB drive, the one failed.
Is it doing this because it was part of a raid? if so how can I default it?

Thanks.
