| There is no such thing as formatted versus unformatted capacity.

There used to be, in the days of MFM.  Most recent manifestation:
floppy disks.

Perhaps this comes up when the controller is sold separately from the
medium.  Since hard disks have been sold with integrated SCSI or IDE
controllers, this problem has not appeared.

Of course "formatted" has a couple of meanings.  For most users, the
filesystem overhead could be called the difference between formatted
and unformatted capactity.  I would not do so.
