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.
