Hello,
Why make it complicated when you can make it simple
1 Byte in English (8 bits) = 1 Octet in French (8 bits as well)
1GB (GigaByte) = 1Go (Gigaoctet)
Why confuse the issue with GiB?
Be careful not to confuse GB (GigaByte) with Gb (Gigabits)
1GB=8Gb
It's very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room.
Especially when it's not there...
Hello Brucine,
Yes, it is related.
SSDs do not all have the same final size unlike hard drives; it varies between brands.
Some are ≈120-128, some ≈250-256, some are ≈500-512.
And manufacturers certainly reserve the right to play with the parameters.
It's like 32GB USB drives; some are 27GB, some are 28GB, some are 29GB...
But two disks of the same brand from the same series will generally be equal.
No, the arithmetic operation is always the same; it's just that the manufacturer sells a disk that nominally has 512 GB, just like car dealers sell pretty much anything for 1500 cc (most often below...).
In ancient times, we took into account space lost due to formatting and cluster sizes (if I remember correctly, 8 or 16 MB, which are not significant at the display level), but this is no longer significant on current disks.
For a system disk, the boot partition is unusable, but it is also of relatively little importance.
Hello as well (politeness is essential on the CCM Forum),

Hello,
The initial question was interpreted by Fabul because there is indeed no point in knowing how many GB a disk of N GB represents.
