Maybe an extra 20ishh

but yehh i agree; could got a better deal

465GB as it uses the rest for formatting information.

No, it's because hardware manufacturers use 1GB = 1 billion bytes however most OSs calculate the space by dividing the number of bytes by 1,073,741,824. So my 1TB drive is 931GB and all 3 of my 500GB drives are 465GB.

Not even close, I have never seen a 1TB drive under £100.
