Formatted Capacity of SATA vs. FC

I was looking at the formatted capacity of one vendor's disks, and
noticed that the SATA gives up a lot more space for the "formatted
capacity". For example: 300GB FC = 288GB formatted, 320GB SATA =
274GB formatted.

Do SATA disks normally give up more space for formatted capacity? If
so, why?
