Can someone give me a simple explanation for this----
Manufacturers--Maxtor/WD/Fujitsu etc etc., all sell Hard Disks with capacities of >examples--80gbt---120Gbt--- 200Gbt..
When Formated we lose 4Gbt on an 80 HD leaving us with 76Gb---
When Formated we lose 6Gb on an 120 HD leaving us with 114gb.
When formated we lose 11gb on an 200 HD leaving us with 189.92..
WHY the LARGE Disscrepancies between all these HD...Why do we lose more Gbt Space on a larger HD...ARE WE BEING CONNED!!!
Would we be better off buying two 120Gb instead of one 200Gbt!!?
Please Don't give me Binary Figures with all this----Just a Simple Explanation would be Great, So if Possible I can Justify this Great Loss from my New Maxtor 200Gb HD...(This Smells of the BIGGEST RIP OFF in all things made)..
