why storage device has less storage than advertised???

• When you buy any mobile, you are told how much storage you will get from the company. But when you get mobile in your hand, how will you feel if you get a little less storage? The same thing happens with computer storage. It happens to you that the company has cheated us or you think that this is used in a lot of places, your computer's system files are stored in the space, or the Android version of your mobile is installed in it, but it is not. That is our little misunderstanding. Today we will tell you why this happens and how we can find out how much memory you will get.
  

• We have been taught some memory calculations in computer since childhood:

8 Bits = 1 Byte

1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB)

1024 Kilobytes (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)

1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)

1024 GB = 1 Terabytes (TB)

• All these calculations seem to have been known to you since childhood but in all these prices 1024 comes in every price which usually confuses us which even a mobile phone manufacturer or computer manufacturing company is confused due to such erroneous calculation word 1024 so It was decided by each mobile phone manufacturing company and computer manufacturing company that those companies will now count 1000 instead of 1024 when making mobile phones and making computers. They will take the same criteria for calculating different units of storage.

1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB)

1000 Kilobytes (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)

1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)

1000 GB = 1 Terabytes (TB)

• Thus, we know the calculation in the figure of 1024 while the calculation by the companies calculates in the number of 1000 which causes a bit of misunderstanding. The calculation done by our device is also done considering the number of 1024.

Let us take this as one more example.

• Suppose you buy a mobile with 32GB storage online. So you get 32,000,000,000 Bytes (32x10⁹) of storage as stated by the company. Now when you buy a mobile you have 32,000,000,000 Bytes in your device / 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 29.8023 GB of storage will be shown. Thus, if you buy 1GB of storage, you will get about 70MB of storage.
  
  
  

• We hope you now realize that we are calculating with the number 1024 and what the company calculates is with the number 1000. The system files of your device are not stored in a little space. There are no driver files installed on your device.
