Hard Drive capacity question

Techically 1024 bytes=1KB,1024KB=1MB,1024MB=1GB,1024GB=1Tb and so on, kinda confusing, but with the way computers are designed they had to go by that multiple, otherwise it would cause problems, that's all i know.

im not sure I understand why that matters?


 
yea HD manufactorers usually use 1mb = 1000k, when it is really 1024. Also formatting takes some of the drive space down.
 
1024 bytes=1kilobyte,1024kb=1mb,1024mb=1gb
so, the real 80gb should mean having 85,899,345,920 bytes
but the hard drive manufacturers count 80gb as 80,000,000,000 bytes
and that is why you get 74 gb
