Manufactureres sell 8,000,000,000 Byte drives as 8GB

So
7812500KB
7629MB
7.45GB

7.45GB is all you get on an 8GB stick.

If you think that is short changed, I recently bought a 1TB external HDD which max's out at 931GB.

I think what it is, is that vendors call 1000KB=1MB instead of 1024KB=1MB and so on.
