Even small flash drives like on a thumb drive or even an ipod. Just because you are getting a 100gb drive you will get around 96gb worth of space. I forget why, a friend explained it before. I will have to ask again and post it up. Quote Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to ask again and post it up. a gig is actually more than 1000 Mbytes (1024) but it is commonly referred to as 1000 Mbytes. Windows sees it as the real 1024 instead of 1000. for example you have a 100 Gig drive. 100 x 1000 = 100000 Megs. Windows sees it as 97.66 because it thinks a gig is 1024. (100000/1024) get it?
