@tnar said in Torrent page says 1.19GB but my torrent is 1.28GB:
Just something to know when you buy a 1 TB disk that your O/S claims only has ~975 GB of space.
Exactly ...
As I pointed out [from above] ...
Any files requires an extra bytes/size to run and executes its programme/function from the disk properly ...
It relies and depends on what format partition (OS) Operating System ... known as Allocation Unit / Cluster Size ...
[requires disk space/partition to work properly]
ex : 4.37 DVD disc ...
Binary units use multiples of 2 rather than 10. So in binary units (1 KB = 1 kilobytes or 1024 bytes, 1 MB = megabyte or 1048576 bytes, 1GB = gigabyte or 1073741824).
Therefore, stated capacity of a single layer DVD-R is 4.7 GB but in this case it means 4,700,000,000 bytes, which converted to computer GB gives 4.37.
The indication on a DVD5 disk is that it will hold 4.7GB of data.
How much of that space is readily accessible for data that I want to write to the disk?
For example, if I write 4.7GB of data to a DVD5 disk, will all my data be readable and retriable?
There must be room for a Table of Contents (TOC) and other things that the disk may have to have there.
I have noted that when recording a movie on a DVD5 disk, it will not go over about 4.3GB.
This leaves an area of 400MB not written too.
