quote: Fine, but it's gunna be boring. :P Storage manufacturers quote storage sizes using BASE10, so there's 1000b per mb, 1000mb per gb etc, where as data is measured in BASE2, so there's 1024b per mb, 1024mb per gb etc. Once the harddrive is formatted, the OS shows the size in BASE2 so it appears to hold less. | |
