500GB = 465GB - 28th Apr 2007 10:56pm
Hummm,
decided to get some more space for storage,
and i was shocked to find that 35gb had gone missing?
It hasn't actually gone missing, it the difference between
the manufactures 500gb and what a computer see's as 500gb.
They sell it as 1,000kb = 1mb,
a computer see's 1,024kb = 1mb.
Something like that, so just be prepared for a loss
of space of what you order.
At a guess 1TB (Terra byte) you're going to end up
with only somthing like 930gb.
