Tapeworm, your response with article proves my point and explains perfectly why we should expect a better amount of space than SanDisk has given us on this drive. A quote from your article even states: “Memory cards aren’t as bad as hard drives when it comes to advertised versus “actual” (it seems that the makers try to match up the two figures): when you buy a card for your camera, you’ll probably getting something close to what it says on the box.”
I completely understand formatted space and I know how to divide and multiply to find bytes to GB.
The article also states: to a computer 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 to product naming 1 GB = 1,000,000,000.
By this fact, this drive should have NO LESS THAN 16,000,000,000 bytes.
Lets look again at the fact that this drive starts out at 15,698,231,296 REAL bytes.
