Binary convention (1 KB = 1024 bytes) — standard for storage, unlike the decimal convention networking speeds use.
How the Data Storage Converter Works
Converts digital data storage quantities between decimal byte prefixes (KB, MB, GB, TB, PB) and binary IEC kibibyte prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB).
Conversion Example
Converting 1 Gigabyte (GB) in decimal (10⁹ = 1,000,000,000 bytes) vs binary Gibibyte (GiB, 2³⁰ = 1,073,741,824 bytes).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a 1TB hard drive show as ~931GB in Windows?
Storage manufacturers measure capacity in decimal (1 TB = 10¹² bytes), while operating systems like Windows calculate capacity in binary GiB (10¹² / 1024³ ≈ 931.32 GiB).
