If a HDD is a 1 TiB, it should be marketed as such. If it is 1TB, it should be marketed as such.
If you buy a 1TB HDD and it appears as 931GB in Windows, then that is expected behaviour, as Microsoft has chosen to incorrectly label GiB as GB. Take it to them. They’re the multi-trillion dollar company to be angry at.
If they instead showed a GB number (rather than showing the GiB number but labelling it as GB) it would show the 1000GB as expected.
I know you’re really going for a “you’re a corporate bootlicker in the pockets of WD and Seagate”, but it’s really not sticking. I think you’re just going out looking for an argument.
and how many people see a 1 tb hard drive and see that it only gives them 909GB and say “yeah, that’s cool”?
