Does anyone have an Intel 730 and know what the memory loss is on one? I'm thinking about getting one want to know how much memory is lost. Like how the Samsung evo 250gb only gives you 232gb

What model? the 240GB?

 

I have the 530, and have a total of 238.86 Usable. I'm using a Mac though. So different file system.

That's not really loss. That's just because a GB (gigabyte) and a GiB (gibibyte, which is slightly bigger so you have less of them) isn't the same thing and drive manufacturers and OS software writers are sometimes sloppy with displaying one or the other. There will be some overhead too, because of the filesystem you're running, but this is the same for all drives on the market. When you buy a 250GB drive, you are getting a 250GB drive.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

I know what it is, but like what's usable from 240gb?

Google converts it into 223.5 GiB. Subtract a small amount for filesystem overhead and you're there. So assume 222 GiB.
