Which is nothing compared to what ARC survival wants. Games are ridiculous these days. I’m not giving up 1/10th of my storage for a fucking game.

It is 2tb. If you look in your drive manager you will see: 2tb. The 0.2tb missing are from the formatting

phoenixz,

This is where garderobe manufacturers are technically right, but theyre still dicks by (ab)using the fuck out of it.

TB = factors of 1000 which humans use, TiB is factors of 1024, which computers use.

Yes yes, they have it correct, it’s 2TB but you’re selling less than expected and you fucking know it.

Then there is also the filesystem that takes a small required cut to store your files nicely but that is almost negligible

Did you forget to send in the mail-in rebate?

Turun,

The issue is in your software that displays the capacity (most likely windows).

You bought 2 TB SSD. You got 2 TB SSD. This is equivalent to 1.8 TiB (think of it like yards and meter). Windows shows you the capacity in TiB, but writes TB next to it.

Say you buy a 2.18 yard stick. You get a 2.2 yard stick, which is equivalent to 2 meter. Windows will tell you it’s 2 yards long. Why? I don’t know.

Matriks404,

Windows can’t count, so there’s the problem.

neonred,

It’s 2 TB, not 2 TiB. One is to the base of 10, the other to the base of 2.

henfredemars,

Maybe it’s in the over-provisioned storage space!

Yes, I know it’s because of the units conversion, but there could actually be 2 TB of NAND even though it’s not accessible to you.

in small print 2TiB*

From wikipedia:

More than one system exists to define unit multiples based on the byte. Some systems are based on powers of 10, following the International System of Units (SI), which defines for example the prefix kilo as 1000 (103); other systems are based on powers of 2.

Your system calculates 1 terabyte as 1 tebibyte which is 2^40 bytes=1,099,511,627,776 bytes and the hardware manufacturers calculate 1 terabyte as 1 terabyte which is 10^12=1,000,000,000,000 bytes. That is where the discrepancy is.

IWantToFuckSpez,

Use MacOS. Then it will say it’s 2TB
