I gotta say, I absolutely hate the way data storage is notated. Because colloquially, a _giga_byte is 1024 MB, but that’s actually a _gibi_byte, and a proper _giga_byte is only actually 1000 MB.
So storage sellers are technically accurate when they say they’re giving you a 1000 gigabytes of storage, but your operating system shows gibibytes as gigabytes, so you don’t actually have as much as you think. It’s like 7% less at the gigabyte level, and 10% at the terabyte level.
