Thus if the drive is advertised as 6.4 GB ( 6 400 000 000 bytes) the operating system sees it as approximately 6.1 GB 6 400 000 000/1 048 576 000 = ~ 6. A gigabyte is larger than a byte (GB is larger than byte). Drive manufacturers consider (correctly) 1 MB as equal to 1 000 000 bytes. When we refer to a bit, especially as part of a larger word, we often use a lower-case 'b' in its place. Computer storage disks and RAM are manufactured.
Edit any of the boxes above and click Convert. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results. Convert between Bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB and KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB. You can view more details on each measurement unit: byte or gigabyte The main non-SI unit for computer data storage is the byte. Your operating system assumes that 1 MB equals 1 048 576 bytes i.e. We assume you are converting between byte and gigabyte. There's still a lot of confusion on the usage of GB and GiB in fact very often GB is used when GiB should or was intended to be.
As shown in the table, the name of each new prefix is derived from the name of the corresponding SI prefix by retaining the first two letters of the SI prefix and adding the letters bi. However, for ease of understanding and recall, they were derived from the SI prefixes for positive powers of ten. Note that the new prefixes for binary multiples are not part of the International System of Units ( SI). The following will help you understand the conversion a little better. Try using google converter with GiB instead of GB and the mystery will be solved. The two tools are converting two different units.ġ GB = 10^9 bytes while 1 GiB = 2^30 bytes.
