Only 1.92T recognized

Hi Folks,

I just installed a new WD Black 4TB HDD in my Win 10 computer…but, it is only showing 1.92TB not 4TB.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Change the partition from MBR to GPT as MBR is limited to 2TB

I’m wondering if you have a fake.

What does CrystalDiskInfo report?

To access the whole 4TB, you have to convert it to GPT. In drive management, right-click the disk and choose “Convert to GPT Disk” (removing any existing partitions may be necessary first). Windows will display the entire capacity once it is GPT.
