I hate when they do that! Listing the capacity of a drive in multiples of 1,000 and not 1,024.

But, it goes in multiples of 8.  24 gigabytes missing from a terabyte is a very substantial amount.  I dont understand why they use rounded numbers.  It seems silly.  Whatever the case may be, my drive is listed by my computer as having 464 total GB.  I'm not putting my steam games, much anything on the SSD. I'm even getting better benchmarkings from my CPU since upgrading.

I know it's not multiples of 1,024, but that's the multiple used for changing capacity measures (1KB = 1,024 bytes, 1MB = 1,024 KB, etc.).

Also, just for curiosity, why did you go with an SSD instead of an M.2 drive? The laters are much, much faster, but they're still more expensive per GB.
