7Chapter 1 Getting StartedAbout the Product Capacity Representation StandardAbout HDD Capacity RepresentationThe capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufactureris calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storagedevice capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore thecapacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than theactual capacity due to the dierence in capacity calculation.(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB,80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be evensmaller because some programs such as Recovery Solution mayreside in a hidden area of the HDD.About Memory Capacity RepresentationThe memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actualcapacity of memory.This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memoryor claims it for further use.(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may reportthe capacity as 1,022MB or less)For more information, refer to the Samsung Recovery Solutionsection.f
