Firstly, let us to figure out the definition of it.
SSD capacity is the maximum amount of data that can be stored on a solid-state drive. It is the user-addressable capacity and not includes non-volatile memory areas intended for the flash controller’s use.
Secondary, we should know the unit conversion for hard disk capacity.
1GB=1KB*1M Bytes
1M=1KB*1K Bytes
1KB=1KB*1Byte
1GB=K*K*K*1Bytes=K3*1Bytes
Third, according to the manufacturer of hard disk, 1KB should be 1000 Bytes, but the operating system supplier defines 1KB=1024Bytes. That’s to say the amount of difference between each 1GB is 10243/10003=0.93
So, the capacity we see in the operating system is the marked capacity in hard disk *0.93
Then, the actual capacity of 128GB is 128GB*0.93=119.04, around 119GB
32GB is 32GB*0.93=29.76, around 29GB
64GB is 64GB*0.93=59.52, around 59GB
256GB is 256GB *0.93=238.08, around 238GB
