About the Product Capacity Representation Standard
About HDD Capacity Representation
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated
assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity
assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the
HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference 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 even smaller because some
programs such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.
About Memory Capacity Representation
The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory.
This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for
further use.
(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as
1,022MB or less)

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss (Hard Disk Management)
Take care not to damage the data on
a hard disk drive.
■ A hard disk drive is so sensitive to
external impact that an external
impact may cause loss of data on the
surface of the disk.
■ Take extra care, because moving
the computer or an impact on the
computer when it is turned on may
damage the data of the hard disk
drive.
■ The company is not liable for any loss
of any data caused by a customer’s
careless usage or bad environmental
conditions.
Causes that may damage the data of
a hard disk drive and the hard disk
drive itself.
■ The data may be lost when an
external impact is applied to the disk
while disassembling or assembling the
computer.
■ The data may be lost when the
computer is turned off or reset by a
power failure while the hard disk drive
is operating.
■ The data may be lost and
irrecoverable due to a computer virus
infection.
■ The data may be lost if the power is
turned off while running a program.
■ Moving or causing an impact to the
computer while the hard disk drive
is operating, may cause files to be
corrupted or bad sectors on the hard
disk.
To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive, please backup your
data frequently.
