About Data Storage Units
Data storage units measure digital information capacity. There are two standards for representing these units:
- Binary (IEC): Uses powers of 1024 (210). Units are prefixed with Ki, Mi, Gi, Ti, etc.
- Decimal (SI): Uses powers of 1000 (103). Units are prefixed with K, M, G, T, etc.
Note: The toggle above allows you to switch between binary (1024) and decimal (1000) base conversions.
