*One Terabyte (1TB) = 1,000 Gigabytes (GB).
One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10.

A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of two for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity.

Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
