  What's the actual capacity of this drive, 476 GiB? I hate having to use a calculator/guessing.

  As with any other 512GB drive, the usable capacity (before partitioning) is 512,110,190,592 bytes.

  Crucial MX200 500GB ends up as 465gb usable Win 7 64 build after formatted for use
  Crucial MX100 256 ends up with 238GB usable

  That would be because Windows displays GiB (2^30 bytes) and not GB (10^9 Bytes).

  During formatting, some space is reserved for the file system. That is not a limitation of the drive, nor does it make the drive have a smaller capacity.
  You don't like file system's overhead? Use a different file system. Oh wait, you can't do that on Windows :D
