Product capacity representation
Storage capacity representation
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer
is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage
device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the
capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than
the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation.
For example, for a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity
as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte =
74.505GB.
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even
smaller because some programs such as Recovery may reside in a
hidden area of the HDD.
Memory capacity representation
The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual
capacity of memory. This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses
a portion of memory or claims it for further use. For example,
for 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the
capacity as 1,022MB or less.
