QuestionI recently bought one of this and it only shows up as 3.64 tb and not the full 4.0 tb. Please Explain?
Asked 7 years ago by Alex.
- Answer It’s a decimal 4TB while you computer represents it in binary. Base 10 vs base 2. 4*1000*1000*1000*1000 = 4,000,000,000,000/1024/1024/1024/1024 = 3.637 TiB http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/172191en
