[citation][nom]blakphoenix[/nom]I for one believe that companies should advertise the FREE space available on devices (that goes for all hdd's, ssd's, phones, tablets, etc). That way consumers can make a more informed choice about how much of their own data they can fit on it. On that basis I hope Microsoft looses and that they have to change their advertising (for all companies).[/citation]
This would be terrible fo HDD and flash drive manufacturers. The "available free space" on them depends on the file system. Format a 8GB flash dreive with NTFS : 7.2GB. ExFAT : 8GB, EXT4 : 7.4GB. BTRFS: 7GB.
So what should the manufacturer claim as the free space ?
