Data Storage Converter
Converts both decimal units (1 GB = 1,000 MB) and binary units (1 GiB = 1,024 MiB).
1 GB = 1,000 MB
Decimal and binary units
| Decimal (SI) | Bytes | Binary (IEC) | Bytes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kB | 1,000 | 1 KiB | 1,024 |
| 1 MB | 1,000,000 | 1 MiB | 1,048,576 |
| 1 GB | 10⁹ | 1 GiB | 1,073,741,824 |
| 1 TB | 10¹² | 1 TiB | 1,099,511,627,776 |
The two systems differ by 2.4% at the kilo level but almost 10% at the tera level. Bits (b) are different again: network speeds in Mbps are megabits, and 8 bits make a byte.
