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 due to 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 Recovery, may

reside in a hidden area of the HDD.

Memory capacity representation

The available memory capacity in Windows is less than the actual

capacity of memory. This is because some memory is required for

regular system operations.

For example, for 1 GB (= 1,024 MB) memory installed, Windows

may report the capacity as 1,022 MB or less.

Data precautions

Samsung shall not be liable for any data loss. Please take care to

avoid losing any important data and back up your data to prevent

any such data loss.

Operating system and software support

If you change the product’s factory OS (Operating System) to

another OS or if you install software which is not supported by the

product’s original factory OS, you will not receive any technical

support, product exchange or refund, and a fee will be charged

when requesting a service.

Please use your computer with the original factory OS. If you

install an OS other than the factory OS, data may be deleted or the

computer may not start.

* Please use Windows 11 for this model.
