Generally on hard drive/ssd capacity it will be listed in GiB (Gibibytes). This is the reason a 1 “Terabyte” drive is actually something like 931 GB showing in your system. Because your system uses GB and the manufacturer uses GiB.
You know, when I typed it out it seemed wrong. I then proceeded to be lazy and do absolutely nothing to verify. I’m leaving it, I deserve to be ridiculed at this point.
As a computer engineer, I had better know. And don’t get me started on MiB vs MB
Please do I’d like to know more! ;)
kB = kilobytes = 1024 bytes
MB = megabytes = 1024 kB
kiB = kibibytes = 1000 bytes
MiB = mibibytes = 1000 kiB

1GiB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
1GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 GiB =~ 0.931 GB
I hope ya know I was just messing with ya hahaha 🤣
You messed it up, actually - it’s the bi units that are 1024
Shit haha appreciate the correction. I fixed it.
Understandable, and I’m really sorry to have to do this to you… But it’s mebibyte, not mibibyte ;D
