Hard Drive Manufacturers work on MB and GB's being based on base 10 (eg
1000MB's in a GB), rather than base 8 (1024MB in a GB), so you always
end up with less than the indicated amount, as shown with David's
calculations.
Please feel free to correct me if Im wrong but this is certainly how it
used to be.
