Posted December 26, 2016 I've always known when something says for example 4gb, it will really have around 3.75 available to use, but in my new pc, my Samsung 250gb ssd has 232gb available and my 1tb hard drive has 931gb available. I would typically shrug it off, but a whole 69gb away on the hard drive got my attention, and it really confuses me. Anybody know why this happens and if I can get any of that space back?

Lol this is normal. Every storage component will reserve some space for INDEX. Nothing to do, and every trademark does this, 100% normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
