Now THIS is an episode that is actually USEFUL!!! I have noticed the weird storage capacities of SSD storage before I saw this video, but I had never heard that term "Overprovisioning" before. Keep making videos like this that are truly useful for educational purposes and your subscriber count will explode!

It was just so quick that you missed it

2017 to 2020, Linus aged 10 years, though his voice stayed the same.

Its also worth pointing out that, most (or all) computer storage manufacturers uses a base 10 system (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes), but computers always uses base 2 system, so 1 GB (Or the Linux users might see the OS mentioned it as GiB: Gi"Bi"Bytes) is actually 1,073,741,824 Bytes. So, for every 1 GB the hard drive advertised, you'll lose around 73 megabytes when the computer addresses it (without addition in formatting overhead, file systems and such)

@markusTegelane

Not all OSes show gibibytes. So, to be sure, you can just check the byte count, then divide that by 10⁹ to get size in gigabytes (10¹² for terabytes, 10¹⁵ for petabytes, etc).

Linus I wish you went more into Gigabytes vs Gibibytes, since it has a lot more impact on advertised storage vs actual storage than you talked about. My SSD has an advertised capacity of 480GB. According to Windows 10 however, it has a capacity of 446GB. Now it's time to take the advertised storage to the GB to GiB converter. 480GB is equal to 447GiB. I'll do this on another drive as well. My 3TB HDD, according to Windows 10, has a capacity of 2.72TB. Again, throw it into the converter. And the result is that 3TB is equal to 2.72TiB. Just a note I thought I should add, since Linus never went into detail about this in the video. Edit: I did round off my results.

fun story: my office computer was running out of space with only 100GBs available on it's HDD. I was going to upgrade it a bigger SSD, so I looked into drive management work out some partitions in preparation to the new drive, it had 900 GIGABYTES OF UNALLOCATED SPACE! that computer from 15 years ago had a 1 TERABYTE HARD DRIVE IN IT WITH MOST OF IT JUST NOT ALLOCATED!

Anyone else feel my pain over GB vs. GiB (or MB vs. MiB, etc). When I learned all this 30 years ago, there was no KiB, it was just KB, and 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes because 1 byte = 8 bits. Damn Apple.

Thanks Linus. That was really informative. I knew that there was a reason for the weird partitioning numbers, but now I know why. Love the format. You guys should have Jon do more Tech Quickies: maybe one a week? Loved the Dyson Sphere, cause it was on my favorite topics; science, technology, and fiction!

I was agonizing over this when I got reminded of it months after I bought my ssd and is now almost full. Fortunately it was in one of those odd sizes, 240 GB so it turns out I don't need to do manual overprovisioning at all.

I miss the defrag coloured blocks that used to display the amount of defragmentation being corrected. I used to watch them till the early hours of the morning.

"And speaking of extra space..." Me: "okay, here comes the square space B-roll... What?"

I got a question... if I run 2 operating systems from one ssd does that reduce the lifespam of the drive ? if there's always one partition of data not being used at the back end of the drive with files not seeing use? does the controller treat it differently ?

Great video, I cannot believe that You guys were able to squeeze in so much information into just 4:53 (including advert).

Thank you for an informative video that takes the viewers seriously.

Teacher: ok class can anyone tell us what 1,073,741,824 mega bytes translates too? Kid 1: thats a gigabyte!! Random kid in the corner that never talks: unh uh that theres a darn G I B I B Y T E

I looked the MAC Book Air which has an SSD. Are you saying that at some point in time the SSD will no longer have space to write/save data?

Seems like an interesting feature ... There's quite some guides on SSD performance, and few mention this function.

"Some" *Almost 1TB*

thank you for making a great video! i've missed these:)

So, what happens if you later on decide to add a partition to the unused space?

Linus is this also true for M.2 SSDS as well? Or just normal SSD l size and SATA format?

Thank you for asking a question i didn't even know i had!! Great work :) at 2:49

Love these vids! Never knew!

I recently bought an ssd of samsung 970 evo plus. I have 500GB in C drive and 1tb (another HDD) in D drive. I use only 300GB. What percentage of OP should I enalbe in samsung magician software?

Another reason why the SSD is best used as your OS drive since you won't be overwriting, or moving your OS (generally). You can use one for more volatile storage, but you won't get as much longevity.

I learned something today, yay! :)

Excellent explanation! Congrats!

0:46 partially right, but you have to realise that Windows uses the 1024 byte system, and the manufacturers state the unformatted capacity of their drives, because it isn't known what the OS the SSD is going to be used on

The real question is why were SSDs designed like this in the first place? Is there no better way to have solid state storage?

Good video. This was some valuable information and I was wondering what was going on.

Hey can someone help me I just updated my hp pavilion 15t (i5-7300HQ ,GTX 1050) laptop to windows 10 1703 version, since then when ever I connect my laptop to my mobile data hotspot it says connected but no internet connection. On troubleshooting it says improper ip address. What to do?

It's also true for USB data sticks. There are factory utilities that can modify the provisioning and you can increase the life and decrease the usable size or vice versa.

I have got mine to 300 megabytes free of 16 gigabytes (6.04 used by android nougat 7.0.0) and it's fine but i would NOT recommend it because updates for apps will not download from the Google play store (butihavetheazpenstore)

Is there a way to retrieve over provisioning space? I just over provisioned 3gb of space thinking it would actually do the reverse so I went from 55gb to 52gb. I would like to go back to 55 at least and If possible I would like to cut down on the default over provisioning to go for like 57 58gb. it's a corsair Force GT and I used the Corsair SSD toolbox. I personnaly don't care much about the lifespan of this drive. I have bf4 installed on it and I can't play the game because I don't have enough space to update it. I removed Xpacks (dlc content) to make the update but than I would need an extra of 2-3gb so I can have all the dlc's. If someone can tell me if it's possible and how to do it I would really appreciate it.

So my Samsung 970 Evo 1TB shows up as 930 GB and then in the Samsung Magician software it offers to turn on overprovisioning? Does that mean it is doubling up on overprovisioning? Should I turn it off in the software since the hardware already has OP built in?

@user-xh9pu2wj6b

3 жыл бұрын

Nope, 930 Gigabytes is exactly what you'd expact form buying a 1 Tb drive because manufacturers are scumbags and use a technical definition of a Terabyte, which is 1000000000000 Bytes while OS uses a more common definition in powers of 2. If you do the conversion yourself, you'd see that 10^12 bytes is exactly 930 proper gigabytes(technically called gibibytes, as was said in the video).

@@user-xh9pu2wj6b Only part of that is true. Microsoft uses binary measurements (factor 1024) while falsely labelling them as decimal units. The binary units are called Kibi-, Mebi-, Gibi-, Tebi-, Pebibytes and so on. The bi stands for binary. Almost only Microsoft does that wrong. If I remember correctly ThioJoe made a video about that. Linux for example lets you choose between the binary and decimal units most of the time but always uses them correctly. Manufacturers are using the units correctly.

Hey buddy, I got some doubt about this. since the SSD manufacturer themself overprovisioned my disk, so Is it required to leave a unallocated partition in my SSD during disk management to increase the life expectancy of my SSD?

Does this not happen in hard drives too? I got a virus once and it filled by memory up to max, when I tried to delete something it could not because it was "gridlocked" that's what my mate said at least.

The first SSD I got was an 80 gb intel ssd for 200 dollars 10 years ago. It had a read speed of 250 mb/s and a write speed of 95 mb/s (sequential), but far higher random read/writes than hard drives. I just got a 1000 gb ssd for 145 bucks which has a read speed of 560 mb/s and a write speed of 525 mb/s. That's a decrease in cost per gb by a factor of around 17. Incredible stuff. My build lasted 10 years before I replaced the motherboard and CPU, and it still ran fine. This is why I suggest building your own so you can replace parts as needed.

Thank you so much. this video is very helpful.

That's an awesome feature!! Found out now in magician sw for my samsung evo ssd. SSDs should do that automatically!

SSD's write things into what are called pages, which are then organized into blocks, which are then integrated into larger cubes, which of course are part of the larger "binder" organization structure, which are then super imposed over the matrix stack.

Link to software that could help you overprovision?

Great video

Always wondered what this options was in Samsung Magician.

Can never controllers (i.e. samsung 970) use partitioned but free space as OP? I had read somewhere this, but can't find the info now....

I'm tried but Samsung Magician is not letting me. I tried using windows partition tool to shrink my partition but it only let me shrink it by 9GB for whatever reason (I have around 1300GB filled up atm and still a lot of free space.) I'm in the process of freeing 600GB to another drive to see how much further i can shrink the partition on my ssd.

is there an update on this?

Great video. I have had a Samsung 840 EVO for 3 years now and I didn't know what was overprovisioning kk

You also loose space when they use chunks of say triple layer flash as if it were double or single layer flash as a write buffer cause its much faster for writes.

Well what if you just keep some space open? Same thing right?

Keep up the good work linus

Great Explanation......

And part of it may be that on the box there are gb(gygabytes) and windows measures in gigibytes which are really close to gigabytes only bigger.

When I head The intro I went to hit skip ad and realized it wasn’t an ad :(

This is the techquickie we all know and love

This explains why my 1050 (1tb) gb m.2 drive only has 990 of usable space.

Great video buddy!

To send or not to send an error report? It's an easy to google but a Techquickie of it would be cool

@Techquickie / Linus: I thought the differences shown between the bytes and the GB (at 0.42 and 0.52) were just because of the difference between KiB and KB, with one using 1024 and the other using 1000. Divide the numbers by (1024)^3 and they'll line up correctly.

Great intro, looks great.👌🏻 Also cool video. Totally should get John in to host more 😁

Why if i have 100Mbps lan network i can use only 15 or less Mbps for file sharing

I find my Samsung 860 Evo msata increases its temperature by 10 degrees after I overprovision it... Is it normal?

Is it normal that my Samsung Evo Pro M.2 shows 400 used up out of 512 gb? Maybe it's because I keep factory resetting my Windows 10

Hey can you do a video on the must have software for any pic user. You know software that is the basics that will help with maintenance, support and allow OCA user to at least stay up to date as possible.

For 1, why there're unconventional capacities - this is likely down to the individual chips making up the SSD. Say they're manufacturered in 60GB chips. Take two, that's 120gb, take four and you have your 480gb. Eight, there's your 960gb. (Though looking into it, they probably are just nipping away at 64/128GB chips) And for point 2, showing up in lower capacities when reported by your OS, this is mostly Windows now, and it's due to the difference in definitions of GB. Windows still uses the 1024 bytes to the kb, whereas manufacturers and other operating systems use 1000. If you do a quick conversion - (1000/1024)³ x 512(GB) = 476.8(GB). I know that Seagate specifically add this extra 7.37% difference for the provision such that it really is a 512GB drive, but really any amount can be added by the manufacturer that's invisible on the OS-level for the sake of ssd shuffling as it were. So for these, I find the images and topics on this Techquickie a little misleading. (Especially since #2 will also be evident in conventional mechanical hard-drives, which don't use overprovisioning)

I was a bit sceptical at first, but the new Intro is growing on me.

i don't think the first issue is formatting overhead. it's the manufacturers scamming that 10^9 Bytes = 1 GB, instead of the proper 2^30 Bytes = 1 GB. you can easily check it yourself

Video Suggestion: A guide or tutorial on how Asus's GPU Tweak II works, and how to use it. Thanks!

I got a tumour from that intro

Harddrive manufactures report the capacity is GB (Giga bytes), which is 1.000.000.000 bytes. While the operating system reports the capacity in GiB, gibibytes, which are 1.073.741.824 bytes.

I LIKE THE INTRO, IT GIVES A PROFESSIONAL VIBE or something like that.

Can you reduce over provisioned space?

Well ... for me ... its more like too little space. I am used to have a 6TB disk in my system where I did put all my games (and was full) and now on only SSDs I barely can get my favorites to fit. (unfortunately I decided to get a small form factor PC which has only space for two SSDs from which only can one be a 2.5 one)

Really helpful guys........ Just increased my knowledge on SSD. #tech quicke
