Western Digital customer support has been notified about the posted complaint. Verified Support Oct 07, 2014 Western Digital Customer Care's response Hi Avinu, I am glad to help you out. For your information, the terabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The following formula will help you for better understanding. 1.0TB =[protected] bytes = 1000 gigabytes. 2.0TB =[protected] bytes = 2000 gigabytes. For example, you have 1.02TB in HDD. 1.02TB =[protected] bytes = 1020 gigabytes. 0.02TB = [protected] bytes = 20 gigabytes. That means 0.02TB still represents 20GB in HDD so put something larger than 10GB and you should see an decrease of 0.01TB. After transfer, you will see the difference from 1.02TB to 1.01TB. Hope it helps. | |

Hi Avinu,
I am glad to help you out. For your information, the terabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The following formula will help you for better understanding.
1.0TB =[protected] bytes = 1000 gigabytes.
2.0TB =[protected] bytes = 2000 gigabytes.
For example, you have 1.02TB in HDD.
1.02TB =[protected] bytes = 1020 gigabytes.
0.02TB = [protected] bytes = 20 gigabytes.
That means 0.02TB still represents 20GB in HDD so put something larger than 10GB and you should see an decrease of 0.01TB. After transfer, you will see the difference from 1.02TB to 1.01TB.
