What does OS size mean?

One size. This cap is ample enough for anyone with long hair. It is very easy for me to get my long hair completely covered.

512 is also 480 depending on how you count bytes on a drive. The industry considers 512 to be 512,000,000,000 bytes. If you count the way the CPU counts, then it comes out to be 480 GBs. So, they are the same measure, but different counting system - Base 2 vs. Base 10.

Hello. It will vary. You should probably see about 230GB usable remaining space give or take after the install of Windows 7.

I noticed that the hard disk sizes were somewhat different as I looked at different systems. I chose one with a 750 gig hard disk. Plenty of free space.

Actual usable storage space varies slightly by manufacturer but there is a reasonably predictable trend : 16gb = 14.7gb, 32gb = 29.4gb, 64gb = 59.2gb, 128gb should equal appx. 118gb of usable space. Bear in mind that while computers read in binary measurements of 2 to the ? power, people simplify this to a base 10 number. Thus 1024?b for the computer becomes 1000?b for people. 128,000,000,000 bytes actually = 119.209GB

4 x 8 is 32 GB and yeah you can run 32 GB of memory 4 x 8 and then it depends on the OS. Hope that clears it up for ya a little.

Depends on how it's formatted. FAT, FAT32, exFAT or NTFS. While the earlier three support older systems they're not as robust and reliable as NTFS. If you're strictly Windows you can use NTFS. So, it sounds like you got a 64Gb drive--- but, remember, you loose space when it's formatted depending on the FS Type.

Yes, it is a typo. Should be 6 GB (6000 MB). You wouldn't even be able to load windows 8 with less than about 1000 MB :] This is a pretty decent machine for the money, I got it for my wife over a year ago, probably 1.5 yrs. Still working well. Keep in mind it is windows 8. I put in an SSD rather than the slower platter-based hard disk and installed Windows 7 (I don't care to teach my wife win8, and I don't like win 8 all that much myself). You can make win8 much more like win7 if you install something like StartIsBack - you can get the start menu back. Cheers!

It is comparable in size, but a jump up in performance. It also comes with Windows 8 normally. Great for traveling!

The Asus site lists it as 9.6 X 9.6 inches. http://support.asus.com/ServiceHome.aspx?SLanguage=en

Manufactures report the number of bits usable by their drives assuming that a kilobyte is 1000 bits (decimal thinking), while Windows reports the number of bits assuming a kilobyte is 1024 bits (binary thinking). Google "(1000^3 * 32 * 8) / (1024^3 * 8)" to get the amount of space in GiB, which is how much usable space you have as reported in the Windows operating system. Windows should report 29.8 GB usable on a freshly formatted drive. This has *nothing* to do with Windows 8 certification.

It is an expansion unit. There is no OS. It is only meant to provide additional storage capabilities to certain synology models.

It just means that it have 32GB of ROM memory (internal memory storage). this is for differencing to 2GB RAM memory... I hope help you! Sorry for my english!!

Simple Answer: To sum it up the detail answer. Companies use SI units to compute their hard drive size, 500 gigabyte is 500,000,000,000, while the computer itself uses binary to compute hard drive size, 500 gigabyte is 536,870,912,000. So if you do the math, 1 - ( 500,000,000,000 / 536,870,912,000) = 7% difference. So 500 - ( 500 * 7%(0.07) ) = 465. So the actual hard drive size would be 465 gigabyte(GB). Therefore the bigger the hard drive, the more it seems like you are losing hard drive space. Detail Answer: Most operating-system tools report capacity using the same abbreviations but actually use binary prefixes. For instance, the prefix mega-, which normally means 106 (1,000,000), in the context of data storage can mean 220 (1,048,576), which is nearly 5% more. Similar usage has been applied to prefixes of greater magnitude. This results in a discrepancy between the disk manufacturer's stated capacity and the apparent capacity of the drive when examined through most operating-system tools. The difference becomes even more noticeable for a gigabyte (7%), and again for a terabyte (9%). For a petabyte there is a 11% difference between the SI (10005) and binary (10245) definitions. For example, Microsoft Windows reports disk capacity both in decimal-based units to 12 or more significant digits and with binary-based units to three significant digits. Thus a disk specified by a disk manufacturer as a 30 GB disk might have its capacity reported by Windows 2000 both as "30,065,098,568 bytes" and "28.0 GB". The disk manufacturer used the SI definition of "giga", 109 to arrive at 30 GB; however, because Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and some Linux distributions use "gigabyte" for 1,073,741,824 bytes (230 bytes), the operating system reports capacity of the disk drive as (only) 28.0 GB.

The drive must be formatted with the FAT file system and then it works. This mean nothing over 32GB.

That is normal. The system reserves a portion for "operating overhead." Only the difference is available.I have 4 gb installed, 2 x 2; only 3.0 is available.
