Re: It's marketing lies allowed to become reality.
Sorry, Carpet... 1TB is not 1TiB, and the fact that you don't know/expect the difference is not someone else's fault.
So when you wrote "_actual_ gigabytes", you really meant "_actual_ gibibytes".
Welcome to the SI system!
I've heard plenty of people try to justify their insistence that, for some weird reason, a gigabyte should be understood as a "gibibyte", but at the end of the day 1 megabyte is the space required to store 1 second of data arriving on a synchronous bit serial connection using an 8 megahertz clock... and therefore 1 gigabyte is the space requires to store 1000 seconds of data.
