Getting started6Product capacity representationStorage capacity representationThe capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes.However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes. Therefore, the available capacity of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. For example, for an 80 GB HDD, Windows calculates the capacity as 74.5 GB, (80x1,000x1,000x1,000) Bytes/(1,024x1,024x1,024) Bytes = 74.505 GB.In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs, such as Samsung Recovery, may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.Memory capacity representationThe available memory capacity in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory. This is because some memory is required for regular system operations.For example, for 1 GB (= 1,024 MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022 MB or less.Data precautionsSamsung Electronics shall not be liable for any data loss.

Troubleshooting59What is a recovery image?This refers to the operating system, drivers, and software that are converted to a data image. It is required to recover the computer and is embedded in the computer’s HDD. However, this is not provided for storage devices where the capacity is less than 64 GB, due to their small capacities.How can I restore a computer that does not have the Samsung Recovery application?Restore the computer with the recovery function provided by Windows. Refer to the Recover Functionality item in the help for more details.Why is the capacity representation of the hard disk drive (HDD) in Windows different from the product specifications?The capacity of the storage device (HDD or SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity. The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because some applications occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.For models with the Samsung Recovery application, the HDD capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because the Samsung Recovery application uses a hidden area of 5–20 GB of the HDD to save the recovery image, and that hidden area is not counted towards the total size available to Windows. The size of the Samsung Recovery application varies by model.
