Windows 7 64bit and new WD3001FAEX problem (746.39 GB instead of 3TB)

Bought this new drive and Windows won’t recognize it as the full 3TB (can only see it as 746.39GB). I have set it to be a GPT disk, updated Intel RST software, updated Intel RST drivers and patched the system so there are no patches left (with more than a handful of reboots in between). Still I can’t see the full 3TBs of drive space. I have other 3TB drives from Seagate and others and I don’t have this issue. Can anyone help?
