Hard drives always show up on the computer as smaller than what it says on the box. That's because the computer measures kilobytes as 1024 bytes (2 to the 10th power or 2^10), MB as 1024*1024 bytes and GB as 1024^3 (cubed) bytes. Take 10^12 (1000 billion) and divide it by 1024^3 and it'll come up to about 930 (as in 930 GB on the computer). It's an advertisiing trick the manufacturers do.

@wpherigo1 It's not a trick, manufacturers use the real definition of KB MB GB TB and so on...
1 KB = 1000B but 1 KiB = 1024B

@GearBuyersGuide not really m8 1TB = 1,000,202,039,296 bytes meaning thats a total of 931 gb's its just the way bytes add up :)

do they have an External Hard Drive using infrared or Bluetooth or whatever so we don't need cables?

@rigenzea
maybe wi-fi would work, but other wireless would be very slow
