Product capacity representation
Storage capacity representation
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity
assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes. Therefore, the available capacity of the HDD in
Windows is smaller than the actual capacity because of the difference in capacity
calculation. For example, for an 80 GB HDD, Windows calculates the capacity as 74.5 GB,
(80x1,000x1,000x1,000) Bytes/(1,024x1,024x1,024) Bytes = 74.505 GB.
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some
programs, such as Samsung Device Care, may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.
