You could turn off memory testing, but defragmentating and running chkdsk on C: would be better to try first.
Answer:
This is because, the advertisers report the storage space in decimal while the computer reads the storage space in binary.
Explanation:
The advertisers report the storage space in decimal or base 10 because humans count in decimal, whereas the computer reports the storage space in binary or base 2.
Since the computer storage is in bytes and 8 bits equal 1 byte, It is easier to write a storage space of 1 kB as 1000 B but it is actually supposed to be 1024 B(2¹⁰). So, there is a discrepancy of 1024 B - 1000 B = 24 B.
As we go higher, the discrepancy increases. For example, 1 MB is advertised as 1000 kB = 1000000 B but is actually supposed to be 1024 kB = 1024 × 1024 B = 1048576 B. So, there is a discrepancy of 1048576 B - 1000000 B = 48576 B.
So, the actual number of bytes on the storage device is actually less than that reported due to the different number systems in which they are reported in. This discrepancy is less in memory cards or flash drives though in which the stated value of storage capacity might be the actual storage size.
Note that the base 10 or decimal system was chosen by advertiser since this is what consumers understand.
6 or 10-bit length
DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier) is the essence of the Frame
Relay Header. This value length represents the virtual connection between the
DTE and the switch. The DLCI values are unique only to the physical channel on
which they reside and thus, maintaining local significance only.
