While hard drive manufacturers use decimal measurements for marketing (where 1TB = 1,000 GB), most operating systems, like Windows and macOS, calculate storage in binary. In the binary system:

This means when you buy a 1TB hard drive and connect it to your computer, the system will interpret that as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Upon conversion into binary values, it results in approximately 931 GB of usable space. This results in the apparent loss in capacity that many users experience.
