Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 1000 and 1024 based storage units?

Drive makers use the decimal system where 1KB = 1000 bytes, while operating systems use the binary system where 1KB = 1024 bytes. That is why a 1TB drive shows around 931GB in Windows.

How many bits are there in one Byte?

One Byte equals 8 bits. Internet speeds are usually quoted in bits (Mbps) while file sizes are quoted in Bytes (MB), so divide Mbps by 8 to get MB/s.

Which unit is bigger, MB or GB?

GB is larger. 1GB equals 1024MB in the binary system or 1000MB in the decimal system, so files measured in GB are far bigger than those measured in MB.
