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) calculates the storage

device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the

capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the

actual capacity due to the diﬀerence in capacity calculation.

(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB,

80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)

In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even

smaller because some programs such as Recovery Solution may

reside in a hidden area of the HDD.

Chapter 1.

Getting Started

About Memory Capacity Representation

The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual

capacity of memory.

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 may report

the capacity as 1,022MB or less)

For more information, refer to the Samsung Recovery Solution

section.
