Wait until they find out how much space is on their 2TB SSD...
That difference is because the drive manufacturer advertises capacity in Terabytes (or Gigabytes) and the operating system displays drive capacity in Tebibytes (or Gibibytes). The former unit is based on 1000 and the latter unit is based on 1024, which lets the drive manufacturer put a bigger number on the product info while technically telling the truth. The drive does have the full advertised capacity.
Hz are Hz though
There is also reserve space for replacing bad sectors
True but not counted towards advetised capacity for SSDs
