Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / December 2007HD Capacity?
I recently took delivery of a new 20" iMac, 2.4GHz and took the option of upgrading the HD to 500GB. Looking at system profiler though, I see that the capacity of my HD is shown as 465.76GB, with a lesser amount available due to the usual suspects. I would have thought that the capacity shown should be 500GB? Any thoughts or answers? I have emailed my supplier with this question but no answer yet, so I thought I'd "ask the audience' Thanks Mike Never is, for the same reason as always Space between tracks and whether MB is 1024 or 1000 KB etc depending on who is counting andrew On 5/12/07 10:48 PM, in article 47568b28$0$7433$88260bb3@news.teranews.com, > I recently took delivery of a new 20" iMac, 2.4GHz and took the option > of upgrading the HD to 500GB.

In California (where else) there was a class action lawsuit of the issue and Seagate have agreed to refund 5% of the cost but I bet that wont apply here. See http://apcmag.com/7449/seagate_offers_cash_to_customers_for_missing_megabyte s Nigel BrisVegas >> I recently took delivery of a new 20" iMac, 2.4GHz and took the option >> of upgrading the HD to 500GB. [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Nigel > BrisVegas Yeah, I thought that was the case, it just seemed like a lot of wasted space. That's life I guess. Thanks for the response guys. Incidently Nigel, I tried to access the link above but the message was "cannot find the page" even though the magazine site comes up??

The line-wrap bollocksed up the link and cut off the last 's'. Try <http://apcmag.com/7449/seagate_offers_cash_to_customers_for_missing_megabytes> Cheers, Andy. >>> I recently took delivery of a new 20" iMac, 2.4GHz and took the option >>> of upgrading the HD to 500GB.
