Anyways, it&#8217;s true that the storage is truncated for the file system which is partitioned separately so it can&#8217;t be tampered with. In the past, people using floppy disks had to reformat before they could be used, that&#8217;s the function of the file system, separated in a hidden partition so that people didn&#8217;t have to reformat it all the time because the file system was accidentally deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when we buy an SSD with a capacity of 250GB which is listed on the package. But when the SSD is connected, the detected size is only 233GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people think that the reduced size is due to the capacity is taken by the system. But actually, this is not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quoted from the Crucial.com site, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sagaratechnology.com\/blog\/how-to-make-your-computer-run-faster\/\">Windows<\/a> operating system is indeed different from macOS or Linux. Note that Windows calculates 1 kilobyte per megabyte as 1,024 bytes per kilobyte<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why because of the different calculations, the size of the storage that appears in Windows will be less than the original size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in other operating systems such as macOS and Linux, 1 kilobyte itself is still counted as 1,000 bytes so that the storage size that appears in both operations is still the same and does not decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we present a brief explanation of using 480GB storage for those of you who want to know the calculation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>480,000,000,000 Bytes \/ 1,024 = 468,750,000 Kilobytes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>468,750,000 Kilobytes \/ 1,024 = 457,764 Megabytes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>457,764 Megabytes \/ 1,024 = 447 Gigabytes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these calculations, here are the storage sizes that appear on the Windows operating system with several sizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>250GB appears as 233GB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>500GB appears as 465GB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1,000GB (1TB) appears as 931GB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2,000GB (2TB) appears as 1,862GB (1,862TB)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been surprised when you just bought an SSD, hard disk, or flash drive when you just connected it to a computer or laptop, the storage is reduced even though we haven&#8217;t used it at all?
