I just recently purchased a TOSHIBA MK3255GSXF 250GB internal HD for my MBP.
After looking at some reviews online (don't ask me why I searched for reviews after purchasing lol), I found an article that said that this particular drive was flashed down to 250GB from its original 320GB, apparently because Toshiba wanted to sell some excess stock and that was a way to lower the prices.
Is there any way to somehow reclaim those inaccessible GBs?
It doesn't really matter, I paid for 250, but if there's a way that would be pretty cool.
The original drive is TOSHIBA MK3255GSX (without the F). As far as I know, the 32 stands for 320GB, and the F, I'm assuming, stands for flashed?
I'm guessing if there is a method, it's probably pretty risky to the drive, so I probably still wouldn't do it so as to not throw away my money if something goes wrong. But I'd still like to know haha.
