Hello,

I'm not very good with computers and anything related to USB drives, software, etc.
So I wanted to know if you could help me understand what 8GB means because I have a USB drive that's 8GB and I'm not sure what that corresponds to with all these terms (GB / MB / KB).

Thank you in advance.

    8 Go = 8000 Mo = 8 000 000 ko
    Knowing that 1 ko = 1024 bytes, I'll let you do the calculations.
    1024*1000=1 024 000 bytes per Mo in computing, but in merchant calculations
    1 Mo = 1 000 000 bytes, we lose 24 000 bytes per Mo or 24 Ko
    24 * 8000 = 192 000 Ko or 192 Mo
    So 8000 - 192 = 7808 Mo
    Thus, an 8 Go hard drive actually has 7.8 Go

    Not everyone is a genius, but we're working on it.
