Multiples Of 1G:
If you have 123 GB drives from different
vendors; chances are that the capacity varies slightly. For ex
-
ample, one drive might be 123.5 GB, and the other 123.4 GB.
“Multiples Of 1G” truncates the fractional part. This makes the
same capacity for both of these drives so that one could replace
the other.
Disabled:
It does not truncate the capacity.
