Title: 35 GB less than advertised?
Post by: Lotos on July 31, 2008, 07:13:53 PM
Those double n_ggers!  >:(  The Book's box advertised it as 500 GB.

Well, got my external HD because my laptop somehow has half of it's space left on it :-/  There's not much on it.  Some albums (in fact, I think it's well less than 3GB) some pictures (my /b/ folder and porn sekret dox can fit onto a 2GB flash drive, I have a LOT less, no way in hell that's taking up space), Gamemaker, AIM, Vista, some poop the computer came with (Can't tell which I need and which I don't), and Photoshop and Premiere Elements.

Fragmenting Formatting to see if it will help  :-\

CAN IT BE CAMWORE TIEM NAO PLZ?

My X-box was advertised at 20GB ad I only had 13GB once the whole thing was wiped clean. :(

There's often a difference in actual capacity and formatted capacity. Besides, it's easier to say it's a 500GB drive rather than a 465GB drive.

Advertised and the way the computer reads it is different.

500GB makes it look better.

Annoying as hell, I know.

So I assume that porn collection is on an HD?

That might be important things, I bet.

But how could it need 7 gigs of important scripts?  Mine had more than that at start, around 15 gigs when it was suppossed to have 20.  It doesn't make sense.
