What are mebibytes and kilobytes?
- 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.
- Kilobyte (kB)
- Exactly 1,000 bytes under the SI prefix, which is what drive manufacturers and network speeds use. Not 1,024 — that is the kibibyte.
