Citation from the data sheet:
Western Digital WD Blue 3.5-inch PC hard drives deliver solid reliability for office and web applications,
and they are perfect for extra storage for desktop PC computing.
Keep in mind, that a computer scientist calculates as follows:
- 1 KB = 1024 bytes
- 1 MB = 1024 x 1024 bytes
- 1 GB = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes
Whereas an HDD manufacturer calculates the capacity of a harddisk as follows:
- 1 KB = 1000 bytes
- 1 MB = 1000 x 1000 bytes
- 1 GB = 1000 x 1000 x 1000 bytes
As a result, HDD maintenance software often shows a lower capacity than specified by the HDD manufacturer.
