Why is there a discrepancy in storage capacity between QES and macOS?


Last modified date: 2019-09-26

QES and macOS calculate storage capacity differently. QES calculates storage capacity using binary (base 2), like Windows, whereas macOS calculates storage capacity using the decimal system (base 10). 

For example, if you create a 100 GB shared folder on a NAS, Finder will show it as 107 GB because of how the storage capacity is calculated: 100 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 107374182400 bytes.
