Why is this still allowed in 2016?

Jews.

I think it's strange that they design storage media to exact values in the first place.

I don't follow harddrives, so I don't know what the largest one on the market is, but let's pretend that 8TB is the largest one you can buy. I imagine at Seagate, Western Digital, or whatever created the highest capacity drive they could and it was like 8.36TB, but they decided to round it down to 8TB because of marketing.

what this guy said

Microsoft Windows thinks that 8TiB is 8TB or something along the lines.

Look at the same drive in CrystalDiskInfo and it will report exactly 8000.

OS X reports it correctly, hence why a CD-ROM is 736mb in OS and 700mb in Windows, because Windows uses mebibyte/megabyte incorrectly

Everyone uses Megabytes except the HDD manufacturers

Whatever you say cuckboi.

Bot of them are correct, 1 = 1000 was recent addition to the definition that doesn't mean 1 = 1024 became incorrect.

The drive got advertised wrongly
You should look for 8 TiB
