    Setting up new drive with computer management


    I set up my SN770 2TB NVME with 10% over provision and its not the same as my other 2TB drives (which I believe were overprovisioned via their respective SSD dashboard GUI). I have 12% free space (for over provisioning) instead of 10%. I used windows calculator to find 10% and subtract it from the total but I think I didn't allow for GB differing from GiB.

    The difference is minor. There is nothing that says that you need some exact amount of overprovisioning. In fact, I don't even do that at all on any of my SSDs. I use all of the available space on the drives.

    This is the calculation I was doing:
    1863 /100 * 10 = 186.3Gb

    1863 - 186.3 = 1676.7

    Then I multiplied 1863 by 1024 and used this calculation:

    1,907,712 /100 * 10 = 190771.2 MB

    1907712 - 190771.2 = 1,716,940.8 MB

    Now the values are the same for Disk 5 as for Disk 2&3
