I bought a 1Tb Iomega MiniMax drive at an average deal from amazon. It worked fine for several months and had some errors today. Luckily I have everything on it in one other place but that has me worried. The other drive is not super reliable.

My question is when I went to reformat using disk util it showed as a 2Tb drive? After partitioning and formatting it is now showing 2.2Tb available space. I'm glad if it really is extra space but I'm worried there is some other problem and I shouldn't trust it.

Has anyone seen something similar to this?

Edit: After reformatting and reformatting again it is showing 1Tb. I guess all is good again.
