Gotta take into account filesystem overhead as well. What is reported by almost any filesystem size program is going to be after the filesystem takes it's chunk of data. Thus the "something out of something" reporting is never going to be *exactly* what the device has.

Raw disk programs that calculates the blocks and such will show you an exact size, but yeah - just thought I'd mention that beside just GiB/GB there is also overhead. How much overhead is filesystem dependant, whether FAT/32, ext3, NTFS, ubifs, whatever...
