I just bought a new Samsung 980 Pro SSD, and the box clearly says 1TB. But when I went into Disk Management to format it, it only shows 931 GB of usable space.
I know there’s usually some "lost" space for the OS, but 70GB seems like a lot to just disappear. So, in 1tb how many gb am I actually supposed to see? Is my drive defective, or is there some hidden partition taking up space? I’m a bit of a newbie when it comes to storage math, so if someone could explain why the numbers don't match the box, I’d appreciate it. Just want to make sure I wasn't ripped off!
