There is no usage a hard drive can be put to which measures in 1000.
Sure there is. Each unit on a harddrive takes up 4096 bytes (in NTFS anyways). So you can have 1.000 of those. Anyway, Giga litterally means one thousand million. It's not harddrive manufacturers fault that computers can't count to 1000.
