Windows, however, sticks to the 1024 rule, which means it sees a 250GB hard drive as 232GB, and a 1TB drive as 931GB.This explains why hard drives appear to have a lower capacity than advertised.A 1TB hard drive has the capacity to store 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Divide this by 1024 and you get 976,562,500KB. Divide by 1024 again and you get 953,674.3MB. Finally, divide by 1024 to get gigabytes and you end up with 931.32GB and so similar way you can calculate the process of 1 MB and 1024kb.

You can also use CrystalDiskInfo to confirm the disk model and capacity.

A couple caveats, I am a My Best Buy Elite tier which extends the return past the standard 14 days. I also had to get an exception for them to price-match both of the units I purchased as apparently their policy has changed to only do 1 match per sku.
But hey, $80 extra in my pocket and I've already finished transferring all my content.
You can never have enough hard drives and TB's available.
