Disabling smartware do i get my 700mb back? Does any one know if disabling it returns my hostage held storage capacity back?

I cannot comment on the WD software disabling this if it gives you what you are talking about. But if you search your favorite site you'll find links to the HP USB Disk Storage Format tool so you can wipe out the entire drive. If I check properties in Windows, it says my drive when blank now is 465GB (500,079,493,120 bytes). I figure that is about as close to 500GB you are going to get.

Yes it did but it's honestly not worth it, the operating system took up most of the space 2 apps and it told me I did not have enough storage space. I sent it back because it is not what it says it is. Good luck

I put my media on micro sd cards which are pretty crazy cheap now. The unaccounted for space is in system partitions.

The super slim system that I bought was only 12GB. The was no "drive" to remove. You opened it up, put your hard drive in the bracket, slide the bracket and hard drive in the opening and that is it. That 12GB is never used by the system again. Why....I have no idea.

I have removed almost all of it except web cam app and cd recovery creator... I bought a netbook and it greatly benefits from a less is more approach.... FYI if you uninstall anything you want back, just go to the toshiba website, for computers/support and when you type in your model you can download all of the bundled programs individually and also get updates etc...

The version I bought has a 16gb memory with 4.86gb used by system files. I added on a 30gb memory card. Hopefully that helps.

If you are running the default windows install, it has another partition of about 24GB for recovery and swap and things like that, so that's your 104GB. The rest of the 35GB I assume is all the files that windows needs to work, all the applications and overhead. Don't forget there is a microsd slot, that's another 64GB for $50.

To be honest I'm to sure because the most attached memory I added was 8gb, and that it was only to transfer data. I only used up a little more than 180gbs. I would imagine that you could though.

I have a same question ! If you get an answer please let me know too. I am desperately searching for to increase my drive storage !

I just popped into my Note 3. Recognized and working. It's actually magic, though. I don't think it really does anything. I mean, really, think about it. 64 GIGA-bytes on a sliver of something smaller than and same thickness as my thumbnail?!!! My first computer had 100 MB storage and I thought I was in fat city. Back then 1 GB cost $1000 IF you could even get it. I know a little about how such things are made and I just cannot believe modern tech. It is insane. If I sneezed during install (2 second job), I would have lost the thing in the carpet, perhaps never to be found.

Unless there has been an update, it will only recognize up to 32gb. If you are not using extremely large files there is no need for it. The player will only "see" up to 8000 files. It Has a cap of 4000 mp3 or audio files and 4000 other files. I have heard of people "hacking" the device to remove the file limits, but I'm not that good with computers and such and didn't want to risk damaging mine. I have a little over 2000 mp3s on mine and it has taken up about 16gb. I have heard of some people having luck with larger sd cards but some do not, it's hit and miss depending on what software version it has I guess. I have a 32gb for mine but have never used it.

Mine is not working properly. when I save files over 128GB. The files disappear and I have only empty folders even though the drive shows that the space is being used. It is a waste of money.

Do be honest I am not sure, but I downloaded a TON of stuff and simply moved to an SD card. I had no problems with space at all.

That's great--but it doesn't help me on the Mac! :-/I'm curious why they put a 256mb restriction; have a 1 gb card and it's not recognizing it on the L2 (it's greyed out).

none that i have found. just keep in mind that u won't get exactly 160GB,s of free space, because the drive had to be programmed ie formatted in order to be used. but u should have ample space for your videos.

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.

Wow, at 2terrabyte why is that even an issue?? I have no idea.. Just use a huge external hard drive and it should be almost limitless. All I know is that 2tb seems like plenty, at least for me. In four years of many photos, I didn't even fill 250gig on my laptop that was my main computer at the time. I do like this all in one, tho it isn't quite as fast as I had hoped it would be. And I prefer the Windows seven side to the childish eight side. Love the large screen. Overall..I would recommend it..the storage should be plenty especially for a home computer.
