It does.My "1TB" SSD and HDD in my PC both have 931GB space available due to the actual GiB units and conversion stuff. Does this mean that the SSD is actually is actually 10% more space than the HDD but it just hides it?
It was mentioned in the Cerny talk.
11:26It is.
SSDs have "overpovisioning" for a few reasons.
Part of it has to do with the way that SSDs write data. Data is written on a higher level than reading. So if you want to make a change to a file, you have to make a copy of the file with the new changes in a new spot.
Imagine when you write, you have to fill an entire notebook.
You have a notebook already with a few pages written in.
In order to update that notebook, you need to start a new notebook, copy the old info and the new changes in one go, and then wipe the old notebook.
So in order to work you need to have a notebook of space available.
