Some of you may have seen my earlier thread about cloning Win8.1 to my new Transcend 256gb SSD (SSD370):

I finally got it done. I ended up cloning Win8.1, all my installed programs, and some of my data in C:\Users (I temporarily removed the 675gb of photos -- they are backed up on two USB 3 external hdds). I removed my 1tb HDD and installed the 256gb SSD and booted up a few minutes ago for the first time. It worked! But, when I use File Explorer to look at my new SSD drive C: it shows that it only has 134gb capacity. I looked at the properties and it shows that it has 134gb capacity, I am using 128gb, and there is 5.99gb free. Well, that's not good. This is a 256gb SSD. I hope someone can tell me what is going on. Thank you!
