This is the user sandbox of Jeh. A user sandbox is a subpage of the user's user page. It serves as a testing spot and page development space for the user and is not an encyclopedia article. Create or edit your own sandbox here.

Please do not edit this page without invitation[edit]

I am using this page to develop text, tables, etc., for possible inclusion in articles. It is not my intent to invite a public debate here. If I wanted to do that I would have created a "sandbox" page under the article in question.

If you would like to pick up an idea here and play with it, everything on WP is free for copying, so by all means, copy it, put it in a sandbox of your own, and have at it.
If you would like to contribute directly to something here please coordinate with me on my talk page first.

If I create a "sandbox" for a specific project to which I intend and invite others to contribute, it will be on a page of its own, and so annotated.^[a] Thank you for your understanding. Jeh (talk) 23:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

trial table for binary prefixes article[edit]

This table compares, for several different recently popular sizes of hard drives, the notations used by the manufacturers for the advertised capacity vs. the capacity as displayed by various operating systems.

Source	Manufacturers' advertised capacity	Advertised capacity expressed in bytes	Microsoft Windows	Actual capacity per Windows display	Apple Mac OS X 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") and later	A tiny, tiny minority of software, including some (but not all) utilities under some versions of Linux
Source is using	SI prefixes	1 GB = 1000000000 bytes, 1 TB = 1000000000000 bytes	Customary binary prefixes	1 GB = 1024³ = 1073741824 bytes, 1 TB = 1024⁴ = 1099511627776 bytes	SI prefixes	IEC binary prefixes
	300 GB	300000000000 bytes	279 GB	279 × 1024³ = 299573968896 bytes	300 GB	279 GiB
	500 GB	500000000000 bytes	466 GB	466 × 1024³ = 500363689984 bytes	500 GB	466 GiB
	750 GB	750000000000 bytes	698 GB	698 × 1024³ = 749471793152 bytes	750 GB	698 GiB
	1 TB	1000000000000 bytes	931 GB	931 × 1024³ = 999653638144 bytes	1 TB	931 GiB
	1.5 TB	1500000000000 bytes	1.36 TB	1.36 × 1024⁴ = 1495335813775 bytes	1.5 TB	1.36 TiB
	2 TB	2000000000000 bytes	1.82 TB	1.82 × 1024⁴ = 2001111162552 bytes	2 TB	1.82 TiB
	3 TB	3000000000000 bytes	2.72 TB	2.72 × 1024⁴ = 2990671627551 bytes	3 TB	2.72 TiB
Notes		Actual capacity is usually slightly higher		Differences between this and advertised capacity are due to rounding errors	Earlier versions of Mac OS used customary binary prefixes
