Default Disappearing Gigabytes

I recently installed a new 500 Gb hard drive for media storage.

After formatting and partitioning is has only 465 Gb available for use.

Where did that 35 Gb go? I can guess that some space would be taken for formatting, partitioning, and maybe some for the system - but 35 Gb?

Is this normal?
