OK here is the thing I just bought a new external hard drive for my laptop ... Then I read the instruction and monitoring carefully; installed the software and not tell the computer to do a backup. It has tools to make backups of my computer, but did not use them ..
The problem is that I can not get 500 GBS displayed on my computer when I click on the properties on the shortcut from the hard drive, but only 465 GBS shows that the maximum capacity, is this correct ? and he said he had used 454 Mbps and has 465 as open space. and in the title, it displays 500105216000 Bytes and right as well as Article 465 says GBS (I think this is the same, but they do not resemble the same). Is this normal? Should I go see it because the ability, it should show the total. but it is not, by the way it shows the total capacity or how much space does the driver? if so, why it is not equal to the section space?

Yes, this is normal.
If you are a computer user well, then you know that a gigabyte contains 1073741824 bytes. But if you look at the packaging that your hard drive has come, you will see something, usually in very small print, indicating that 1 GB = 1000000000 bytes.
For your 500 GB drive is a difference 36870912000 bytes, or about 35 gigabytes, leaving you with about 465 gigabytes of usable space.
And if that were not enough, many advertisers round off a smaller number to a larger number. Thus, a player who is actually 450 gigabytes, May be calculated for advertising purposes as 483 gigabytes, then rounded up to 500 gigabytes.
Not all manufacturers do, but recently it seems that most do. If you really need 500 GB, you must be very careful about the fine print, and buy reputable dealers and Web sites. Many websites are not the same note hard actual size in their lists of sale.
The practice began in the 1980s (or even before) with 3.5 "diskettes, which were supposed to 1.44Mb, but were actually 1.37 megabytes.

when you format a HD, some of the space is occupied by formatting. I 'm not sure of the report, but I have a 750GB hd, I "lost" 502 MB when it is formatted. 35 sounds so as it can be of law. Hard Drive

manufacturers use 1000 MB in a Go instead of 1024 MB true value. hence, they more advertising on the box that it actually is.

This behavior is normal. The gross storage capacity of the disk is 500 GB, but to manage things on it you need to partition and format in blocks, steals away some of raw capacity.
I compare to a pie cut with a knife. When you're done, most of the cake is still there, but a little is now on the knife. I know that this is a crude analogy, but it helps me.
Also, as Brick said, there is the question of how to calculate the size, we computers Bytes the 1024 KByte, but manufacturers are using 1000, which, once megabytes and gigabytes, is a significant amount.
