Missing 6.8 GB on Sandisk ultra m3.0 64 GB

@vikramr:

you are right. The calculations don’t add up. It should be 59.60 GB. So there’s about 2.5 GB actually missing.

But here’s the thing: SanDisk says “Actual user storage less”, but who knows what that means and how much it affects the storage medium. To me, it could also mean that they will only give you 32 GB, because they need the other 32 GB for some kind of wear leveling or performance improvements or whatever. SanDisk really needs to disclose this information! Also: other manufacturers don’t seem to have this problem!

Yes, I call this fake advertisement! And if you’re ordering online, you might not even be able to read the backside of the packaging!
