Why is the available capacity of my storage device lower than stated on the package?
This standard difference applies to all storage products. Manufacturers calculate capacity using the decimal system (1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes), whereas computers read data using the binary system (1GB= 1,024x1,024x1,024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes).
For instance, a 128GB Transcend card will display as approximately 119.2GB on your computer. Rest assured, your device delivers the full, promised physical memory capacity.
