Why does my 1TB hard drive show as only ~931GB on Windows?
Hard drive manufacturers sell storage in decimal notation (1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes). However, Windows reports storage in binary gibibytes (1 TiB = 1,024^4 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes). Dividing 1,000,000,000,000 by 1,024^3 yields ~931.32 GiB.
How many megabytes (MB) are in one gigabyte (GB)?
In decimal standard (SI), 1 GB = 1,000 MB. In binary standard (IEC), 1 GiB = 1,024 MiB.
What is the difference between a Megabit (Mb) and a Megabyte (MB)?
A byte consists of 8 bits. Internet connection speeds are typically quoted in Megabits per second (Mbps), while file sizes are measured in Megabytes (MB). A 100 Mbps download speed transfers approximately 12.5 MB of data per second.
