Why did I buy a 1TB hard drive, which reads out to be just over 930GB, isn t it a little less?

Normal, because the manufacturer of our hard disk is not calculated according to the advance rate of 1024, they are calculated according to the feed rate of 1000, our U disk, and other storage products are the same, that is, 1TB=1000GB, but our computer is calculated according to 1TB=1024GB, so you buy a 1TB hard disk, but the actual only 1 1000 1000 1000 1000 (convert the value of the hard disk manufacturer to B) 1024 1024 1024 1024 = Convert the actual capacity to the computer's feed rate calculation method), this is the actual capacity of the 1TB hard disk, plus some errors in the design and subtract some of the capacity consumed by the configuration file, which is the actual capacity of the hard disk.

Everyone looks at the lack of hard disk capacity in the market, on the one hand, there is a shortage of unscrupulous manufacturers.

On the other hand, the algorithm is poor (in fact, it is also a kind of stealing concept of unscrupulous manufacturers) is calculated from bytes, b---kb---mb---gb---tb1 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1073741824 (1024 base system).

1 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 10000000000 (vendor algorithm).

So there is no big problem with your hard drive, it is lucky, but the manufacturer secretly changes the concept (this is a common phenomenon, and everyone recognizes it), if it is short of catties and two, it is a big fool.

Many factories are based on the base system, which means that 1000MB is 1GB

And in the computer it is 1024MB for 1GB

Generally, the difference between the scalar and the computer display is within 10%, which is normal.

Not small, after partitioning and formatting, the system partition table will also occupy some space on the hard disk, so it is normal for the total capacity displayed by the operating system to be different from the model capacity of the hard disk.

The conversion will be a lot less, and the bigger the overall, the more the difference is 1000 between the merchants' MB and GB.

And there will be fewer partitions in the NFTS format than in the FAT32 format, because some of the NFTs will be used for encryption.

No shrinkage 1TB=1000GB=1000000MB=1000000000KB=100000000000B

The system is 1024.

Use a calculator to do the math and you'll find out, it's about 931 GB, give me points.

The decimal number algorithm is different, and there is also the formatting space reserved by the manufacturer.

Generally, the difference between the scalar and the computer display is within 10%, which is normal.

Normally, some of it is used for formatting.

My 500gb

Only 462GB

Start with B and you'll know what's going on.

For example: 10 to the 9th power b 1024 1024 1024 931g

Normal. The drive takes up space.

is a normal phenomenon.

This is a format within the manufacturer.

It's like when you buy a bag of food, why do you have to leave it empty!

Normally, when will the manufacturer be able to pay attention to the people?
