What are gigabytes and kibibytes?
- Gigabyte (GB)
- Exactly one billion bytes. This is why a "1 TB" drive shows as roughly 931 GB in Windows: the drive is sold in decimal and displayed in binary.
- Kibibyte (KiB)
- Exactly 1,024 bytes — two to the tenth. The binary prefix, standardised by IEC in 1998 precisely to end the argument about what a kilobyte means.
