Capacity. The physical capacity of the drive. (Note that the capacity as shown
on 3DM2 screen is calculated as 1 KB = 1024. This amount may differ from
the capacity that is printed on the disk drive, where it typically has been
calculated as 1 KB = 1000. Consequently, the capacity of the drive may
appear smaller in the 3DM2 screens. No storage capacity is actually lost; the
size has simply been calculated differently for consistency.)
