1 One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes and One Terabyte (1TB) means 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system and other factors.

Hi everyone, So I was using external toshiba hd for few month and it was all ok. I was doing backup through 'time machine' (my mac -> macbook pro 15 retina 2014) and using security app which was oryginally installed on toshiba's hd (HDD password tool) - it makes hd unreadable for computers without that app because you have to use it to write security password which unblocks the hd. I was using it on OS X 10.10. After installing new OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) when I plug toshiba's hd my mac says it's unreadable.

I think the problem is in HDD password tool. I've deleted it and downloaded again where I've realised that newest version on toshiba's site is for OS X 10.10. I gave up on installing it when the system informed me that version being installed is not compatible with current OS. So I think I know where the problem is, but untill toshiba won't create new drivers for 10.11 my hd is uselles.

I don't really care about its data because I only use it as backup if there would be any problem, so is there any possibility to clean its content and make it work again? Ubfirst rds signon for mac. I've tried to clean it with mac hd tool but it doesn't work on it saying in my language something like that 'It can't be saved to last block of device. Operation failed'. Welcome to the community, deathmind!

Yes, unfortunately, it does take some time for manufacturers to catch up with the latest OS updates. However, I believe that you should be able to fix the issue by booting from another Mac that has an older Mac OS version and try to re-format the drive from there. This, though, will erase everything you have on the drive as a backup until now, so make sure you have copied the Time Machine backup files before formatting the external HDD. Since you can't wipe the drive and re-format it from Disk Utility, you can also try using Terminal using the command diskutil list, afterwards you should be able to see all the drives you have connected to the Mac (including the external). After you determine which disc number is the external drive, you will need to type this command diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ (name) disk# (where # - is the number of the external HDD and you can name it as your backup drive, if you'd like) Another way to re-format it would be to use a Ubuntu/Linux Live CD and partition and format the drive with journaled HFS+ file system. Hope these help.
