Computer companies are on notice after the world's largest hard
drive manufacturer, Seagate, reached an out of court settlement, after
claims it had misled consumers regarding storage capacity.

The
class action, filed in a California court, claimed Seagate wrongly
defined one kilobyte as one thousand bytes, not 1,024 bytes, which is
regarded as the industry standard.

This results in a hard drive labelled as 1GB, actually being 73,741,824 bytes, almost 70MB, short of the mark.
