Data Storage Units Explained
The bit is the smallest unit of digital data. Eight bits make one byte. From there, each step up is a factor of 1,024 in binary (the way computers actually count), though storage manufacturers often use factors of 1,000 for marketing.
| Unit | Binary (IEC) |
|---|---|
| 1 Kilobyte (KB) | 1,024 bytes |
| 1 Megabyte (MB) | 1,024 KB |
| 1 Gigabyte (GB) | 1,024 MB |
| 1 Terabyte (TB) | 1,024 GB |
| 1 Petabyte (PB) | 1,024 TB |
Hard drive manufacturers use decimal (1,000-based) units, which is why a "1 TB" drive shows up as about 931 GB in your operating system (which uses binary 1,024-based units).
