A 256GB SSD typically has about 238GB of usable space after formatting and accounting for the difference between manufacturers' definitions of a gigabyte (1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes) and the operating system's calculation (1GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes). Some space is also used for system files and overprovisioning, which further reduces available storage.
