标题: Western Digital Settles Hard Drive Capacity Lawsuit [打印本页] 作者: ColdFusion 时间: 2006-6-29 09:22 标题: Western Digital Settles Hard Drive Capacity Lawsuit Take note, Apple. Western Digital is actually settling a class-action lawsuit that was filed against them. They are giving out free software to consumers who filed a lawsuit claiming the hard drives actually had less space that promised. This software is available for anyone who has purchased a Western Digital hard drive from March 22, 2001 to February 15, 2006. It isn’t just some run-of-the-mill software either, the software retail value is roughly $30 per copy.
The lawsuit stemmed because Western Digital decided to interpret one gigabyte as 1 billion bytes, while actual operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X interpret one gigabyte by the correct number of 1.07 billion bytes. This 7-percent shortfall would be like losing 5.6GB of storage space on an 80GB hard drive. If you too have been victimized by Western Digital, then you can claim your free correction software here.作者: vooshee 时间: 2006-6-29 14:32
