So Giga is 10^9 in metric system... but in computers everything is binary. Therefore it goes in the multiples of 1024 (2^10).So 500GB= 500 000 000 000 Bytes in metric system.But when it comes to computers 500 000 000 000/ (1024*1024*1024) = 465.66 GBWe define the capacity in Metric system so in real world it shows less capacity in the computer..Hope this answered your question....</blockquote>
