Data Converters: Bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB and Bits

Data sizes come in two systems. Storage makers use decimal units, where a gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes, while many operating systems count in binary units, where a gibibyte is 1,024 mebibytes. That is why a new drive shows less space than the box says.

These converters make the system clear on every page, and include bit and byte conversions for internet speeds, which are quoted in megabits per second.
