My 1gb usb doesn't fit under 1gb of stuff?

General Topics

I was putting a file on there, Crossfire - It says 0.97Gb (Total file size) When it get’s too 0.93GB it says it is full, There is nothing else on the usb?

I can’t put it through network places either because it’s not showing other comps

a 1GB flash drive will never be 1GB. The formatted capacity is always less than whats advertised. This is due to file-system overhead and shady marketing.

They market a 1GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes (usually says so in fine print somewhere on the package). When in reality 1 GB is 1,073,741,824 bytes.

They do the same with CDs. To them 1MB= 1,000KB when its actually 1,024KB.

Hi…

You could purchase a bigger USB flash drive. :slight_smile: I think you live in the UK, so here is a site that sells them there.

May God Bless you! :slight_smile:

I think Husk might live in the West Antipode. (As opposed to the East Antipode, where I live.)
Dick Smith’s should sell them at a good price.

Try Australia

I do have a 2gb one but I don’t know where it is, So I just put it on in halves. They should make it full size. So many small size usbs to what there actually is

Just read up

8,589,934,592 Bytes

Hi all…

Well, I was a bit off with that one but not too badly, different geographic location, same flag (Union Jack.) ;D

Hi ardvark,

If you were thinking back a couple of generations they all came from the old continent,
and then again you do not count the stars and stripes also every day, ;D

Hi…

Very true, just that our independence came about quite differently. ;D

May God Bless you! :slight_smile:

Wow, me too!
That’s kinda cool. It would probably be really expensive though

You would never run out of space… ever ;D
