When buying disk drives, 1 GB is regularly characterized as 1,000,000,000 bytes. Notwithstanding, when seen by a working OS, the limit showed is frequently not as much as this. For instance, another 1 TB hard drive would be accounted for by the OS as 931 GB (this is 931 GiB). GiB (Gibibytes) is a standard unit utilized in the field of information handling and transmission and is characterized as base 1024 as opposed to base 1000.
Example: 1 GB is defined as 1000³ bytes, whereas 1 GiB is defined as 1024³ bytes.
Units of Measure & Bytes
- Kilobyte (KB) 1000¹ = 1,000
- Megabyte (MB) 1000² = 1,000,000
- Gigabyte (GB) 1000³ = 1,000,000,000
- Terabyte (TB) 1000⁴ = 1,000,000,000,000
- Petabyte (PB) 1000⁵ = 1,000,000,000,000,000
- Kibibyte (KiB) 1024¹ = 1,024
- Mebibyte (MiB) 1024² = 1,048,576
- Gibibyte (GiB) 1024³ = 1,073,741,824
- Tebibyte (TiB) 1024⁴ = 1,099,511,627,776
- Pebibyte (PiB) 1024⁵ = 1,125,899,906,842,624
How is this converted?
GB to GiB
Multiply by (1000³ / 1024³), equivalent to 0.931323
Divide by this value to go from GiB to GB
TB to TiB
Multiply by (1000⁴ / 1024⁴), equivalent to 0.909495
Divide by this value to go from TiB to TB
GiB to TiB
Divide by 1024
Multiply by 1024 to go from TiB to GiB
GiB to TB
Convert into GB by dividing by 0.931323, then divide by 1000 to get into TB
