What's new
ganun talaga paps, the rest kasi is for reserved. for example ni-format mo yung sd card, yung mga akala mo deleted files is ini-encrypt lang sa smallest size tapos dun ilalagay sa reserve storage. yan yung theory ko
 
Hindi yan narereserved o iniencrypt to smaller size or something, hndi rin yn nkadepende sa brand.

Tama naman 128GB sa package ng SD card mo, but remember this prefix GIGA means 1000^3, so you'll end up with 128,000,000,000 bytes to work with, but computers don't operate with Base 10, rather they use Base 2.

Para mas madaling maintindihan, kapag tayo gumagamit ng Kilo, Mega, Giga, etc. as powers of 1000, pero iba sa computers or sa cp, they use powers of 1024. Bakit? To be more precise they use powers of 2, and 1024 = 2^10 instead. This means that a decimal (base 10) Gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes (1000^3 ), but a binary (base 2) gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024^3 ).

Back to your question, yang SD card mo na 128 GB (128 * 1000^3 ), since computers work with powers of 2, you'll only get 119.20929 GB of usable space (128,000,000,000 / 1024^3 ). You haven't lost 9GB, it's just being represented differently because a binary GB is ever so slightly more than a decimal GB.
