Not even 500,000Mb

HD manufacturers are unlikely to change their base 10 approach unless legally obliged - think about it, they'd all have to do it at the same time and even then it would look bad compared to "older" drives.

So this one's likely to be about 453Gb after formatting. The problem's just going to get worse as the numbers get bigger
