this is a very good and simple explaination. 
i always knew that we can't never see the exact GB storage whenever we buy the HD or thumbdrive but i never knew the real reason behind it. one of my friends say the reason is some thumbdrive and HD is preloaded with some basic drivers/software that is why you can never see the exact storage. can anyone confirm this?
and why does manufacturer does not just wrote 3.72GB instead of 4GB to avoid confusion?
Manufacturer will always display the capacity they made instead on the one shown in Windows. They create that much, they display that much. No more no less. Besides, you think 3.7GB sounds nicer compared to 4GB? i always knew that we can't never see the exact GB storage whenever we buy the HD or thumbdrive but i never knew the real reason behind it. one of my friends say the reason is some thumbdrive and HD is preloaded with some basic drivers/software that is why you can never see the exact storage. can anyone confirm this?
