autotech Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 i performed trim manualy on my 240 gig force 3 about 16 months old after it was done it showed i had 235MB of free space. Should of had 160 or close to it. I had used the toolbox to overprovision it by 16 gigs when i first got it. I couldnt recover from image so a fresh install because i couldnt install anything because it read low space. So i do a fresh install of windows 7 64 bit and after install i look and it took up way more space than it should. I downloaded toolbox again and it showed 223 gig total space. When i went to overprovision tab it showed that i had 16 gig factory overprovision. I did a secure wipe and it still shows the same my FW is up to date. Is there a way to get that 16 gig back other than sending it in that someone might know of. Thank you in advace for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 223GB is correct for the formatted space available on a 240GB drive. You have 256GB of NAND on the drive with 16GB used for factory overprovisioning and no, this cannot be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
