not 1000 MB, If you read the device's characteristics, it says it's

For those non-professionals who remain confused by the use, in computer
science, of the terms kilo (k), mega (M), giga (G), and tera (T) to mean
ratios of 2^10 = 1024(10) instead of their well

Using i when you mean I can be tolerated as computer lingo but using
m for M is downright confusing. I'm pretty sure that milli is always
1/1000 and never 1/1024 but whonoze?

Hey at least that idiotic 'kibi'

and that when a disk is formatted, you lose space

The factor is 1024, not 1028.
It's binary (base 2) math converted to decimal (base 10) for our eyes.

1 KB = 1,024
