I have a question, is it normal for a Western Digital 1TB (WD10EACS) to only show 931.51GB? Can this be correct?

Excellent info. Thanks. It's really interesting, the Antec enclosure drops about 10C of the temperature which is obviously due to the cooling system (circulating the air with a fan.) http://www.silentpcreview.com/article728-page3.html I mean the interesting part is this...
