Edit: Figured it out. Apparently this is because Windows has decent sized recovery partitions (500 MB+) putting it just below 931 GB. 931 GB is only for pure storage drives.

I know this sounds funny to be questioning a 1GB difference but I'm just interested in the technical reasons or if there is something else going on.
Everywhere I read a 1TB drive should read as 931 GB in Windows due to the whole 1024 vs 1000 stuff. That's common knowledge.
However on my fresh Windows 10 PC build I have run into an issue with my SN850 1TB nvme. It's showing as 930GB under "This PC".
This guy says the same thing for his SN850 (last post): https://www.tenforums.com/general-s...-installations-c-drive-one-10gb-larger-2.html
Can anyone tell me why this specific nvme is not showing 931 GB like every other hard drive should? Can anyone else confirm?
