1 TB = 930 GiB
The value difference is not because of invisible buffers! Marketing material and usable OS space are measured in different units, but the usable amount of bits in each value is exactly the same.

So 1TB = 1000*1000*1000*1000 bytes/1024/1024/1024 = 931GiB (or 0.9TiB)
I don't give a shit whether your operating system likes to show you disk usage in binary or decimal units, because I'm not talking about software at all. I'm explaining how the hardware is built. I especially don't need another person to try to explain what the binary and decimal units are, after I've repeatedly used both correctly.
