Understanding Storage Units

Computer storage units are used to measure the amount of digital information. There are two main systems: decimal (SI) units like KB, MB, GB and binary units like KiB, MiB, GiB. Understanding the difference is crucial for accurate calculations.

Decimal Units (SI)

Based on powers of 1000
1 KB = 1,000 bytes
1 MB = 1,000 KB
Used by storage manufacturers

Binary Units (IEC)

Based on powers of 1024
1 KiB = 1,024 bytes
1 MiB = 1,024 KiB
Used by operating systems

Bits vs Bytes

1 byte = 8 bits
Bits are used for data transfer rates
Bytes are used for storage capacity
