When referring to hard drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes. Your computer’s oper- ating system may use a different standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be available for data stor- age. Quantitative usage examples for various applications are for illustrative purposes. Actual quantities will vary based on various factors, including file size, file format, features and application software.
