Digital storage is measured in units based on the byte, which is the fundamental unit of digital information. A byte consists of 8 bits, where a bit is the smallest unit of data (either 0 or 1).
Binary (Base-2): Used by operating systems. 1 KB = 1,024 bytes (2^10). Decimal (Base-10): Used by storage manufacturers. 1 KB = 1,000 bytes (10^3). This converter uses binary (IEC) standards, which is what your operating system displays.

Common questions about digital storage conversion
There are 1,024 bytes in a kilobyte (KB). This is based on binary (base-2) calculation used in computing.
MB (megabyte) and Mb (megabit) are different units. 1 megabyte = 8 megabits. Megabytes are used for file sizes, megabits for internet speeds.
There are 1,024 gigabytes (GB) in a terabyte (TB).
Hard drive manufacturers use decimal (1 GB = 1 billion bytes), while operating systems use binary (1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes). This makes drives appear ~7% smaller.
