How to Convert Data Units
Data storage uses two systems: binary (powers of 1024, used by operating systems) and decimal (powers of 1000, used by storage manufacturers). This is why a "500 GB" hard drive shows as about 465 GB in Windows.
Binary Prefixes (IEC)
- 1 Kibibyte (KiB) = 1,024 bytes
- 1 Mebibyte (MiB) = 1,024 KiB = 1,048,576 bytes
- 1 Gibibyte (GiB) = 1,024 MiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
- 1 Tebibyte (TiB) = 1,024 GiB
Decimal Prefixes (SI)
- 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1,000 bytes
- 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1,000 KB = 1,000,000 bytes
- 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,000 MB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
- 1 Terabyte (TB) = 1,000 GB
