Mama me langadi gatta bn Transcend StoreJet 25H3 kiyana 1 TB ekak.
Rs.12,000.00 une. 3 years warranty ekka.


Habai mch disk eke 1TB ma na.
931 GB thama space eka

that's exactly correct... 1TB gets reported as 931GB
To a HDD manufacturer
1MB = 1000 KB and
1GB = 1000 MB
1TB = 1000 GB
So one 1TB = 1000x1000x1000x1000 bytes

But Windows OS calculates the capacity using the correct multiplier which is 1024.
So (1000x1000x1000x1000)/(1024*1024*1024) = 931.323 GB

This is the difference you see which is correct.

There are some WD Passport Essential models that came with a non-standard proprietary interface. The interfacing electronics were built into the HDD.
Also some current models from both WD and Seagate have similar issues, the USB interface is being built into the HDD electronics. There is no SATA connector. If the interface fails, you are stuffed - because you cannot crack the case open and connect the HDD to a standard SATA interface to get the data out.
The older type enclosures with a SATA 2.5" HDD is the better option.
