9MB unallocated on new 500GB Passport

Is this normal? Not bothered as its tiny and I know how to get rid of it but why would it be there?

R.

You mean showing as unallocated in Disk Management?

Or just that the disk has 465.65 GB instead of 465.66 GB free when empty?

Because if it’s the latter, the 9GB will be the space occupied for the hidden unlocker VCD, to give the drive the password hardware cncryption capabilities.

thanks, presume you meant 9MB for the unlocker. I’ve binned it and reformatted to NTFS anyway - was just interested
