How to fix 'hard drive only showing half capacity'? (5 Solutions) ►One or more partitions on the disk are deleted and shown as unallocated in Disk Management, then you can not see and access such space in Windows File Explorer. That’s because MBR only works with disks up to 2 TB in size. ►If the disk is larger than 2TB, but initialized to be MBR, then the rest space over 2TB will be shown as “Unallocated” in Disk Management and you will be unable to see and access it in File Explorer. ►If you format the hard drive using an improper tool or the formatting process is interrupted by sudden power failure or removal, then it might get damaged and displays wrong capacity.

►When the hard drive driver is out of date, there is also a possibility that the hard drive shows wrong capacity in the Windows computer.

#Windows 7 memory monitor at 7gb out of 8 software#

►When your hard drive is infected with virus or malware that has eaten some storage space, and then hard drive only showing half capacity issue occurs, so you can perform anti-virus software to keep your device clean and safe. There are many reasons that could help explain why the hard drive shows wrong size in Windows 10/8/7.

Why hard drive not showing full capacity? Just read on, the content below will clear all your doubts. Have you ever encountered such similar disk problems such as SSD reporting wrong size? Or are you just being bothered by hard drive only showing half capacity? So you might be wondering why these occur and how to deal with them, just like the guy asking for help on forums.

What’s wrong? What can be done? Any helpful suggestions welcome. Well, the SanDisk SSD has 500GB, but the system does not show the full capacity, only half of the size. So while you will get some performance gains with dual-channel, it will not be double.“Several days ago, something weird happened to my SanDisk. Note too that theory and real world rarely jive. Note that many CPUs today have memory controllers on die. Plus less packaging is good for the environment.įinally, what really happens is dual channel allows the RAM to communicate between the RAM and the memory controller on each side of the 'flip-flop' of the bus for 'in theory', twice the bandwidth. So the only reason we, as consumers need to buy RAM in dual-channel (or triple channel) 'kits', is to save money. RAM making has become an extremely reliable process and this is one reason it is near impossible to find RAM that is not warranted for life. Today, modern RAM makers no longer need to test each RAM stick individually because testing has shown the specifications for each sticking coming off the production line is well within the acceptable tolerance range to ensure compatibility. This is why back then, dual-channel sets cost more than buying sticks individually. So RAM makers actually tested each stick individually to match pairs, then wrapped those pairs in sets or 'kits' in the same packaging. Neither were the raw materials a pure as they are today. Way back in the olden days (dual channel has been around for 50 years!!!), RAM manufacturing techniques were not as good as today.

While the exact same brand is preferred to ensure identical specs, today's motherboard memory controllers are very capable of making slightly dissimilar sticks work well together. With modern motherboards and RAM, you can buy two single sticks (with the same specs) individually, put them in the appropriate slots and viola! - you are running in dual channel! 'Kit' is simply a marketing term for two like sticks wrapped in the same package. Click to expand.Ummm, this is not accurate.ĭual channel memory architecture is a motherboard feature.
