Congrats, you've discovered the openly known scam of the storage industry.
If you buy memory, a gig is 2 to the power of 30, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.
But if you buy a hard drive, a gig is considered to be only 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Your OS is probably reporting space based on the first definition of a gig, but your drive's actual manufactured capacity is the second.
500,000,000,000 "drive bytes" divided by 1,073,741,824 "real bytes" is 465.7
