Seagate never made a 512GB HDD at least that I can find.

Now, now, I'm sure the first guy was "enhancing" his own specs a little bit, too. We all do it.

That said, there are some arguably similar drives listed at 500 GB capacity on ebay. But it's not the size of the disk, it's the gesticulation of the allocation.

I have several 500gb hdd's. I've never seen one labled 512 gb. Only micro sd cards and SSD's. If they did exist, I'd suspect they were either IDE or SAS.

Are you telling me this post is fake?

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 9 points 1 day ago

Look, we all exaggerate a lil' bit on dating apps.

Im almost positive they did, i had one in my core 2 quadro machine iirc, but it was 7200rpm not 5400.

I've never seen a 512gb hdd. It's such a weird number. I've seen 512gb micro SD cards.

[–] lunsjentilanette@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is it a weird number? Its 2**9

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

HDDs have generally been dec round numbers rather than binary

[–] lunsjentilanette@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe but its still not a weird number in this context :p

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I feel like for HDDs it is. In general it is not. The even weirder thing is that HDD sizes are expressed in decimal gigabytes to inflate the numbers. A 500 GB drive will show as around 480 in some operating systems.
