That is because of the file system, when your drive is formatted FAT32/NTFS there is a file which is like the TOC (Table of contents) on a CD it stores info on where the files are stored. This is normal for all drives, its unavoidable!

that is a common misconception. it is actually due to the manufacturer reporting its size using 1gb = 1,000,000,000 bytes when it is actually 1024x1024x1024 bytes
