What underlying cause prevented hard drives from becoming larger than 137 GB for some time?

Back when solid-state hard drives were first invented the initial cost was higher per GB or even MB on older hard drives. Now however new technology has enabled the cheaper building of flop circuits, making it a whole lot cheaper and therefore more ethical to build larger capacity hard drives.

How come a 250 GB hard drive says 232 GB?

A 250 GB hard drive has 232 GB because 232 GB is an estimate to 250 GB. So 232 GB would be rounded to 250 GB. Or a 500 GB hard drive that has 455 GB, 455 GB is rounded to 500 GB.Examples (Most Likely):A 40 GB hard drive, it's 37.2 GB or 38.2 GBA 80 GB hard drive, it's 74.5 GB or 74.4 GBA 160 GB hard drive, it's 135 GB, 138 GB, 148 GB, or 149 GBA 250 GB hard drive, it's 217 GB, 219 GB, 223 GB, or 232 GBA 320 GB hard drive, it's 283 GB, 284 GB, 285 GB, or 286 GBA 500 GB hard drive, it's 451 GB, 453 GB, 455 GB, or 465 GBA 640 GB hard drive, it's 582 GB, 583 GB, 586 GB, or 588 GBA 750 GB hard drive, it's 692 GB, 694 GB, 695 GB, or 698 GBA 1 TB(terabyte)(1024 GB), it's 916 GB, 918 GB, 920 GB, or 931 GBThese hard drive capacities(how much it holds total) are most likely to happen when you get a new computer or a new external hard drive. This should help you with your 250 GB hard drive problem.
