Solved

Hello Forum....
After ordering a 64GB SD-HC card for more storage, I received a 64GB card.
I connect it to my PC to use it, and I see in the card properties that it actually has only 30GB of storage capacity, whereas the markings on the card indicate 64GB.
So I would like to know if I was fooled by the difference between GB and Go, if there is any, because the indications on the card are not falsified; it's a Samsung SD-HC 64GB, while I ordered a 64Go SD-HC....
Could someone explain the difference between Go and Gb?
This capacity difference is astounding...
Thank you in advance for your response,
Best regards, LauK69200

Hello

1Go French = 1GB English... There's no difference except for the language.

It was too obvious to think about it right away.

You should also know that Gb (gigabit) is not equivalent to GB (gigabyte).

Hello.

Right-click on "computer>manage>storage>disk management"
You will see all your disks and your USB key appearing as removable disk, and there you will be able to see the real capacity.

1 byte = 8 bits.

So 64 Gbits = 8 Gbytes
