About the Product Capacity Representation

Standard

About HDD 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, MeeGo™) calculates the

capacity of the storage device assuming that 1KB=1,024 bytes, and

therefore the representation of the HDD capacity in Windows and

MeeGo™ is smaller than the actual capacity due to the dierence

in calculating the capacity.

(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows, MeeGo™ represents the capacity

as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte =

74.505GB)

In addition, the capacity represented by Windows or MeeGo™ may

be smaller than the actual capacity because some functions or

software programs reside in a hidden area of the HDD.

About Memory Capacity Representation

The representation of the memory capacity in Windows and

MeeGo™ is smaller than the actual capacity.

This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory

or claims it for further use.

(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows, MeeGo™ may

report the capacity as 1,022MB or less)
