“If this flash drive doesn't come with propriety software on it, then why does my new drive only come with 115 Gbs of free space. Just curious. This thing works great and is fast.”

The File Allocation Table on the flash drive takes up a certain amount of the flash drive's storage space. Think of it like the Dewey Decimal System in a library; it "tells" the drive how to store files (documents, CD's, movies, etc.) logically so that they can be retrieved ( and then viewed, played, printed, etc.) easily. Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Much of the the difference in storage space is because MS measures using the binary definition of a gigabyte, while the storage manufactures use decimal. 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 in binary 1 GB = 1,000,000 You can quickly see that will leave you with around 119 GB before formatting.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All flash drive companies round the space size up. I have had over 20 with the same issue.
