Hi guys, I hope I'm posting this in the right place, but here goes:

I emailed PC Specialist asking if I bought a 240gb ssd, how much storage would I actually have after the OS and drivers were installed, and they told me 180gb. 60gb for OS and drivers??! Is that right?

Thanks in advance for the responses! :)

240gb formatted would not be 240gb, it would be something like 223gb.

HDD & SSD manufacturers calculate 1 Gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Microsoft & memory RAM manufacturers calculate 1 Gigabyte as 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024 x 1024 x 1024).

So after windows and drivers are installed then it would be around 180gb.
