At Micron, we always market our drives at user capacity—the storage that’s available to the user. You can see this if you browse to our <a href="http://www.micron.com/partscatalog.html?categoryPath=products/parametric/solid_state_storage/enterprise_ssd" rel="nofollow">enterprise SATA SSD part catalog</a>. You’ll notice that the capacities are 50, 100, and 200 GB. The total NAND on board these SSDs is 64, 128, and 256 GB, respectively, but we use some of those bytes for overprovisioning. You’ll notice that our C400 client drives have capacities of 64, 128, 256, and 512 GB—they aren’t overprovisioned, so the user has access to the full capacity. It’s critical to show user capacity—it’s a matter of basic marketing honesty and the number that really matters to the end user. Thanks for the comment.

But i have doubt that while marketing, that SSD will be advertised to have 64 GB though 25 % is reserved or as 50 GB and reserve of 14 GB. How it is advertised to End user ?
