Hello! :)

I've installed a 1TB SSD for gaming storage. I goggled how much GB is 1TB and they said it should be 1000GB.

But in my file explorer it shows me the max is 930GB, so is this normal or because of the system files(windows 10) took some of the space?

I'm a noob for pc just want to make sure...

Thanks in advance!
 
Its a simple issue of reporting storage space.
Essentially the drive is marketed under the assumption of a base 1000 setup. However, windows sees the drive in a base 1024 setup, meaning 1TB=1024GB

You should expect to "lose" about 70GB per TB of storage bought. My 4TB external drive is actually 3.6TB according to windows.
