About the Product Capacity Representation Standard
About HDD Capacity Representation
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated
assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity
assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the
HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity
calculation.
(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB,
80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some
programs such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.
About Memory Capacity Representation
The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory.
This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for
further use.
(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as
1,022MB or less)
Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)
Q. What is a Recovery Area?
A. - Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover computers or save
backup les. (Only for models with the Samsung Recovery Solution.)
This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery image that
comprises of the OS and application programs.
- You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution icon on the desktop
or press F4 while booting the computer to enter the Recovery Area. Then you
can back up the present computer state or recover the computer from backed up
images.
- For deleting the Recovery Area, you need to use an additional Recovery Area
Removal Tool. After deleting the recovery area, you can use the newly created
partition for other uses, such as for saving personal data. Be careful that once the
recovery area is deleted, the Samsung Recovery Solutions will not work anymore.
Q. The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is
different from the product specications.
A. - The capacity of the storage device (HDD) of the manufacturer is calculated
assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows)
calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and
therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the
actual capacity. This is due to the difference in capacity calculation and does not
mean the installed HDD is different from the product specications.
- The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity
because some programs occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.
- For models with Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity representation
in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because Samsung Recovery
Solution uses a hidden area of about 5~20GB of the HDD to save the recovery
image, and that hidden area is not counted towards the total size available to
Windows. The size of Samsung Recovery Solution varies by models because of the
different size of applied programs.

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss (Hard Disk Management)
Take care not to damage the data on a
hard disk drive.
■ A hard disk drive is so sensitive to
external impact that an external impact
may cause loss of data on the surface
of the disk.
■ Take extra care, because moving the
computer or an impact on the computer
when it is turned on may damage the
data of the hard disk drive.
■ The company is not liable for any loss
of any data caused by a customer’s
careless usage or bad environmental
conditions.
Causes that may damage the data of a
hard disk drive and the hard disk drive
itself.
■ The data may be lost when an external
impact is applied to the disk while
disassembling or assembling the
computer.
■ The data may be lost when the
computer is turned off or reset by a
power failure while the hard disk drive is
operating.
■ The data may be lost and irrecoverable
due to a computer virus infection.
■ The data may be lost if the power is
turned off while running a program.
■ Moving or causing an impact to the
computer while the hard disk drive
is operating, may cause les to be
corrupted or bad sectors on the hard
disk.
To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive, please backup your
data frequently.
