***e, koliko puta mora da se postavi ovo pitanje na forumu i da odmah krene etiketiranje.
Dakle, ako hard disk ima 100 gigabajta, on ima 100 gigabajta.
Problem je samo ako se 1 gigabajt računa po dekadnom sistemu gde je osnova 10 i meša sa binarnim, gde je osnova 2.
Evo, ko zna elementarni engleski sve će mu biti jasno:
Why doesn't my hard drive show the correct size?
The short answer to there's two different measurement formats used. Decimal (GB) and binary (GiB) formats. Binary is used by Windows and decimal is used by the manufacturers. Both the manufacturer and Windows are giving you the "correct" number.
Binary numbers are numbers that are a power of 2.
Decimal numbers are numbers that are a power of 10.
2^10 is 1,024 the closest Decimal number is 10^3 or 1,000
2^20 is 1,048,576 The closest Decimal number is 10^6 or 1,000,000
2^30 is 1,073,741,824 The closest Decimal number is 10^9 or 1,000,000,000
Now lets look at common terms:
Kilo means 1 thousand
Mega means 1 million
Giga means 1 billion
Tera means 1 Trillion
1000/1024 = .9765625
1,000,000/1,048,576 = .9536743
1,000,000,000/1,073,741,824 = .93132257
