Less storage for the same price doesn’t sound like a good revision.
It’s fine, guys. Sure that’s the size of one or two games these days, but that’s approximately how many the PS5 has!
Isn’t 825 What you actually get with 1tb?
No.
While hard drive manufacturers use decimal measurements for marketing (where 1TB = 1,000 GB), most operating systems, like Windows and macOS, calculate storage in binary. In the binary system:
- 1 KB = 1,024 bytes
- 1 MB = 1,024 KB
- 1 GB = 1,024 MB
- 1 TB = 1,024 GB
This means when you buy a 1TB hard drive and connect it to your computer, the system will interpret that as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Upon conversion into binary values, it results in approximately 931 GB of usable space. This results in the apparent loss in capacity that many users experience.
Also in this case, the actual usable space will be 768GB.
I more meant they use some of the space for ps5 software stuff by default
No idea, but if that’s the case you will probaby be left with 500GB.
probably, my 1tb ps5 has like 825 of actual usable space for games
GiB*
I won’t even touch that. Since IEC changed official definitions it’s even more complicated mess than it used to be.
Eh we use GiB in the Kubernetes space. 1024^n bytes
