A manufacturer advertises a solid-state drive (SSD) as having a storage capacity of 512 GB512\text{ GB}512 GB (where 1 GB=109 bytes1\text{ GB} = 10^9\text{ bytes}1 GB=109 bytes). However, when connected to a computer, the operating system measures and displays the storage capacity in gibibytes (GiB\text{GiB}GiB, where 1 GiB=230 bytes1\text{ GiB} = 2^{30}\text{ bytes}1 GiB=230 bytes).
What capacity, to the nearest 0.1 GiB0.1\text{ GiB}0.1 GiB, will the operating system report for this drive?
