    This is standard for storage devices. Flash media, hard drives, ect always have less usable space than their specifactions. Generally this loss is about 10%. A 500gb hard drive for instance will only have about 465gb of usable space.

    Basically, he is wondering if some of the OS is written onto the SD Card itself, not on the phone.

    Technically, no... The OS shouldn't be 'rooted' on the SD card.
