    I don't have the answer... but I've experienced the same problem! I put a 300 GB Samsung drive into an external enclosure... it worked fine, until around 130 GB.Then It started giving me problems. I couldn't put anything else on it. I then read somewhere that it's only designed to utilize about that much memory space (instead of the full 300)...

    What's the deal with these drives? is there something that we're missing, or doing wrong?
