" This is another giveaway; Windows reports drive capacities in gibibytes (1,024 mebibytes) or tebibytes (1,024 gibibytes), while drive manufacturers use gigabytes (1,000 megabytes) and terabytes (1,000 gigabytes). This is why a 1TB drive normally only has a reported capacity of 930-ish GB,"

Another vendor another scam. I am looking forward when they will sell 64 bits processors with only 60 bits. But with SaaS everything shall be possible.

Don't current x86-64 CPUs come with ~48 bits of addressable virtual space? So in a way, you're not far from the truth.

Be thankful they don't see modern x86-64 processors as 512-bit processors due to the vector units. :P
