Tera is metric SI prefix and the drive has 2 000 000 000 000 bytes. It is accurate. It's your OS showing you values divided by 1024 that is wrong. IIRC macs had this fixed years ago.

The funny thing is, everyone who learned computing knows of this so it should surprise nobody. The even funnier thing is seeing Amazon 1 star reports on large HDDs that go like "I ordered a 20TB drive but it shows up as a 18TB one, returned it, never buying from this vendor again."

So it's the fault of the euros again

>>107667259
Because you don't know difference between TeraByte and TibiByte

It's the fault of Microsoft for showing you TiB values with a TB suffix.
It's your fault for being so fucking computer illiterate to not know this.
Fuck I hate this board.

Use Linux. It's accurate there.

True, but still stupid both formats are used pretty much interchangeably. Your OS and other software should use the same method of displaying filesizes as your HDD/SSD manufacturer. Kilo is a thousand, not 1024.
>>
>>107667285
The definition is 8 bit = 1 byte, 1024 byte = 1 KB. The SSD/HDD manufacturers are frauds. They even produce things like 512 fake GB disks so make people believe it's half a TB.
>>107668606
It says KiB on my machine. That's also OK even though it's actually KB.
>>107668620

>>107668620
Windows is correct though.

1000 byte KBs = jewish NWO shit
1024 byte KBs = as God intended

Kilo has been 1000 for over 300 years before Microsoft even existed you stupid kike

>>107668717
Forgive them. They are Burgers and real units confuse them.

>>107668687
1KB = 6 million bytes as the torah intended
>>107668717
Not the first time kikes try to increase certain numbers
>>
>>107668717
1 KB was 1024 bytes before Microsoft existed, anon. It has nothing to do with your masonic metric horseshit, either

If it weren't for Euros the drives would use terabytes everywhere in the world but use something like "bWords" for every 4 gigabytes (billion words, word being the highest value a CPU can operate on, in this case 32 bits or 4 bytes.).
>>
>>107668703
kilo/mega/giga is value divided by 1000, not 1024. Your OS not following established scientific standards is an objectively wrong choice. But what would you expect from an OS coded by indians using AI?

>8 bit = 1 byte
You know, that was not always the case. A byte was the smallest addressable memory unit, which depending on the architecture could be anything from 1 bit to 48 bits. The idea of 8 bit = 1 byte only became ubiquitous with the immense success of IBM's System/360 line in the 1960s. There is a word to avoid this ambiguity: 8 bit = 1 octet.

I'm guessing all the other file managers should offer something similar
