1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes (terabyte = 1000^4)
:
1TiB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (tebibyte = 1024^4) 1TB/1TiB = 0.9095 tebibytes per terabyte 14TB * 0.9095 = 12.73 TiB |

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.

Also, to get even close to this much space you'd have to buy three of the 4TB SSDs, which would cost you over $1500.
I don't think we are comparing apples to oranges here. This is for bulk storage and archival, not speed.
There used to be the issue of hijacked accounts but I haven't read anything about that in years so I guess they came up with a way to fix that issue.
Also, as of last year, if you accept immediate payment and process a refund from ebay side, paypal will keep the transaction fee. Furthermore if you take in $600.00 from ebay. and process a refund because it seems fishy, they will keep the transaction fee, and then deduct it from your default payment in the full amount of the refund, Let me explain as it was explained to me by paypal .
Ebay sends seller 600.00 for item
You decide to cancel due to fishy / fraudulent address etc.
Ebay initiates the case number, and immediate pulls from paypal once cancellation is approved.
Refund gets sent back from paypal initiated by ebay immediately of 600.00
Now listen up because here is the "killshot" if you didnt CYA your paypal funds available!
If you didn't have the 3% balance in your paypal (in this case 18.00)
they draw the entire amount from default payment method ( in this case checking account)
The 600 less the 3% stays in your paypal as a balance.
There is no option to add the difference from alt source of payment. If you didn't have the 18.00 in the paypal balance , they draw 100% from your bank. and leave you with a paypal balance.
Why is this important? Well if you don't f'n have 600.00 in your checking account at said time of month its a real big f'n problem. Paypal will point you to change of TOS last year and say tough titty said the kitty but the milk's still good.
Thank you for using paypal, We align as a retail merchant where the customer is never right. They have way too much power!
I was completely floored by this situation, and was in that situation without 725.00 in this case in my checking account at the time.
They would not even pay for the instant transfer fee back to pull the balance back to my checking account ( normally 1%)
Be sure who you are f'n doing business with and if you can avoid Paypal I absolutely would.
I stopped selling things on eBay / PayPal because I simply got scammed too much. Now I have a ridiculous surplus of tech in my house.
