Hi guys, I'm wondering what snow leopard reports the size of the 128GB SSD to be. Mine is reporting at ~121GB, which seems like less than it should since Snow Leopard uses base-10 for calculating drive space now.
Got a tip for us?

I'm wondering the same thing.. I could definitely use any amount of extra space that i can get
My stock SSD reported 120.99 and my Runcore reports just under 128 GB. I have NO CLUE as to why that would be or how it would happen? I thought it should report a stock SSD as 128 GB also??? I have always wondered what is going on here. I assume it's the drive itself reporting the way it was when manufactured or OS X was first installed on it. I got mine the day the MBA was updated, so it shipped with Leopard originally. When I installed Snow Leopard, I remember the drive space changing, but I think the size was reported inaccurately. When I first installed the Runcore SSD, I used Snow Leopard to partition the drive, so I have to assume that is somehow the difference?
Any other guesses?

Well, that blows my theory of if Snow Leopard partitioned the drive it would be larger, as mine was partitioned with Leopard.
I have NO CLUE, still. Anyone can answer this? Why do Runcores show 128 GB while Samsungs show 120.99? I would bet these are the exact same size, but there's something with the file system and way partitioning reports size? I wonder if all are same Extended and Journaled?
my guess is that it isn't really a 128GB SSD. Apple really shouldn't advertise it as such, but since all of them seem to be ~121GB (the stock ones anyway) there probably isn't anything we can do about it.
