Frequently asked questions
- Why is my 2 TB drive only 1.81 TB?
- Manufacturers count 1 TB as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes while the operating system counts in units of 1,024. The bytes are all there — only the label differs.
- Do games run better on an SSD?
- Load times shrink dramatically, and modern streaming engines rely on fast storage to avoid texture pop-in. Sustained frame rate itself usually changes little.
