The factor is 1024, not 1028. It's binary (base 2) math converted to decimal (base 10) for our eyes. 1 TB = 1,024 GB 1 GB = 1,024 MB 1 MB = 1,024 KB 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes. >and that when a disk is formatted, you "lose" space due to maintenance >/ indexing / allocation needs of the system ... maybe even bad sectors >being mapped out.
