Indications in ’MB’ are always approximate since there is general
confusion as to whether 1 MB = 1000 KB or 1 MB = 1024 KB
(and whether 1 KB = 1000 bytes or 1 KB = 1024 bytes). Conse-
quently, 128 MB can indicate a value between 128,000,000 bytes
and 134,217,728 bytes. You can view the exact number of bytes

Part of the memory has been used for partitioning and formatting.
The file system (e.g. FAT) and partition data can require different
amounts of memory. The same drive formatted by two different
programs can have a different amount of memory.
Another part of the memory is used by the firmware, which can use
multiple MB depending on the functions. The memory available
after you update the firmware may vary.
