Less and less space for reasons other than storing stuff on it?

You will always see a bit less space than the stated size of the drive, because the stated size is the raw size, but formatting takes a bit off the top.

I'd be a bit startled if you saw less space due to cells being marked bad and mapped out. It's going to take a while for any cell to actually get erased and rewritten over 100,000 times.
