It is confusing because ram manufacturers and s/w companies use the binary giga. Believe me, if this was a sue-able point, the americans would've made sure of bankrupting the companies first.
I also heard ntfs reserves around 12.5% of partition space for it's MFT. So that's shud be a loss of usable hdd space too.

I do't know much about it, but I believe this reserved space is not used until other parts of the hdd is filled with data first. Much like the 10 (or 20?)% reserved bandwidth for qos.
