What are mebibytes and gigabytes?
- Mebibyte (MiB)
- Exactly 1,048,576 bytes. About 4.9% larger than a megabyte, and the unit most operating systems display while labelling it MB.
- 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.
