It's kind of annoying that as drives get bigger and bigger, the size the 
manufacturer reports gets further and further from the size the 
operating system reports i.e. every order of magnitude takes it further 
apart -- 1000GB drives are becoming common now, but the OS reports a 1TB 
drive as 0.91TB; a discrepancy of 10%!
