465 GB instead of 500 GB / Binary V. Decimal Capacity

The Seagate External HDD isn't showing the wrong capacity, it's just how the capacity is figured. All drive manufactures figure the drive capacity using decimal measurements, as where all most all OS's figure the drive capacity using binary measurement. Therefore, even though you have a 500GB drive (decimal), when you plug it into your PC it only see's it as 465GB (binary).

Various Drive Sizes and their Binary and Decimal Capacities :

Drive Size in GB Approximate Total Bytes Decimal Capacity
(bytes/1,000,000,000)
Approximate Binary Capacity (bytes/1,073,724,841)
10 GB 10,000,000,000 10 GB 9.31 GB
20 GB 20,000,000,000 20 GB 18.63 GB
30 GB 30,000,000,000 30 GB 27.94 GB
40 GB 40,000,000,000 40 GB 37.25 GB
60 GB 60,000,000,000 60 GB 55.88 GB
80 GB 80,000,000,000 80 GB 74.51 GB
100 GB 100,000,000,000 100 GB 93.13 GB
120 GB 120,000,000,000 120 GB 111.76 GB
160 GB 160,000,000,000 160 GB 149.01 GB
180 GB 180,000,000,000 180 GB 167.64 GB
200 GB 200,000,000,000 200 GB 186.26 GB
250 GB 250,000,000,000 250 GB 232.83 GB

All in all, this is a good product by Seagate, and I hope this piece of information helps to understand it better. :) Good day.

USB 3.0 Awareness Campaign

No doubt this a good hard-disk, but mind you, this doesn't have USB 3.0 support. So, if you have a USB 3.0 support in your laptop or desktop, or likely to have in near future, you are missing a great deal here.

USB 3.0 is ten times faster than USB 2.0

Seagate currently (at the time of posting this review) have no hard disk with out-of-box USB 3.0 support. Some Seagate models however work with USB 3.0 with the help of additional attachment.

You can consider buying Western Digital(WD) Hard Disc Drive(HDD). It has USB 3.0 support, but is priced slightly higher. The WD HDD can be found here:
flipkart.com/computers/external-hard-disks/itmczbu5ztxfs7eb?affid=setu2kxyah

Also note:
** USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, meaning USB 3.0 devices will work on USB 2.0 ports(as well as USB 1.0), but USB 3.0 transfer speed can only be attained on USB 3.0 ports.

** And if you have bought a desktop or laptop recently, it is very likely to have USB 3.0 ports for your USB devices.
