These are from the same manufacturer! Interestingly, the larger drive is actually the older one!
I checked my drives, and all my 2TB drives are: User Capacity: 2 000 398 934 016 bytes [2,00 TB]
Is the "standardization" not a fixed value but a minimum? If so, what is that actual minimum? If it's an actual 2 terabyte (2x10^12), then I suppose they're both technically over, but that means that we can't just simply create partitions that fill the space and expect to be able to transfer them later. :-(
Are you sure smartctl actually reads from the drive and doesn't query the controller? Only thing I can think of is that sdc sits on a controller that puts in a superblock between the OS and the drive, and thus truncates the size you can use.
