| 771522 | 2009-05-06 11:35:00 | Hi everyone yesterday I bout a new Asus M50VC and it suppose that the HDD is 320GB when I try to partition it if found only 300GB the 20GB is not there when is ask the agent they told me it's from the company, that I have return it to them because I suspicious on it, in the laptop they writhe 320GB also on the package anyone have any idea please? | alawi (14692) | ||
| 771523 | 2009-05-06 11:59:00 | it says 320gb but that has to do with the way kb and so forth are worked out i believe. eg 64GB will only show 60GB may i ask where did you buy a new Asus M50VC? |

| 771524 | 2009-05-06 12:30:00 | I buy it in Sulaimanya, Iraq, it read 300GB before installing Windows, the HDD is fresh and 20GB is much more? | alawi (14692) | ||
| 771525 | 2009-05-06 12:47:00 | sonar is right, because there is 1024meg in a gig you cant say that 320gig is 300000meg. 320gig should show as 300-305gig |

| 771527 | 2009-05-06 13:57:00 | This is first time I see this type I know that after installing there’s deference but 7G or 8G not 20G, could you explain more please why? | alawi (14692) | ||
| 771528 | 2009-05-06 17:05:00 | GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes What the O/S calls a gigabyte is actually a gibibyte (GiB) = 1*1024*1024*1024=1073741824 bytes. 320000000000 / 1073741824 = 298.02 (GiB) 320 GB = 298 GiB answers.yahoo.com :) |

| 771529 | 2009-05-06 17:21:00 | Thank you for your help but in the laptop they write 320GB exactly such as all other laptops and I have old Asus 120GB gave me about 118Gb and 20GB to be loss is too much. | alawi (14692) | ||
| 771530 | 2009-05-06 20:25:00 | Yeah, if you extrapolate the difference, the loss is approximate 20GB. Have you taken a look at my previous post yet? | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 771531 | 2009-05-06 21:17:00 | A typical 320GB drive will give approximately 300GB of usable space. See Jamuz' post for the workings. Likewise, a 120GB drive will be about 112GB usable. I have a 500GB drive that is 466GB usable. The supplier / agent didn't know this?? |
