=================================
It depends on your counting system. If you assume that 1000 Bytes=1 kByte
then 80 GBytes sounds about right. If you assume that 1024 Bytes= 1 kByte
then 76 GBytes would be correct. Both measures are in use.

80 gig is the unformatted capacity. Formatted NTFS, it
will be about 76 gig. FAT32 will allow about 73 gig
usable space.
Same thing as is in effect with a floppy disk. They're
1.44 mb unformatted - 1.38 something formatted.
