The actual size is really 1024GB, a device can't calculate wrongly. But OS uses resources, so you'll end up short in the end anyway... :| And if this behemoth gets an internal IDE or whatever version, I'm getting it ASAP! No more space problems for the rest of....... for a while

Well you can always tell how much space the OS is to store metadata since each file under properties has a "size" and a "size on disk" attribute. The former is the actual size in bits - so yeah some space is always wasted but you gotta have somewhere to store the security settings and status flags.
