Binary vs decimal: why your drive looks smaller
Windows and RAM reports count in powers of 1,024 (binary, sometimes written KiB/MiB/GiB); drive makers, macOS and mobile carriers count in powers of 1,000 (decimal). Same bytes, two answers:
| Gigabytes | Terabytes (binary · Windows) | Terabytes (decimal · on the box) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | 0.000976562 TB | 0.001 TB |
| 2 GB | 0.00195312 TB | 0.002 TB |
| 4 GB | 0.00390625 TB | 0.004 TB |
| 5 GB | 0.00488281 TB | 0.005 TB |
| 8 GB | 0.0078125 TB | 0.008 TB |
| 10 GB | 0.00976562 TB | 0.01 TB |
| 16 GB | 0.015625 TB | 0.016 TB |
| 20 GB | 0.0195312 TB | 0.02 TB |
| 32 GB | 0.03125 TB | 0.032 TB |
| 50 GB | 0.0488281 TB | 0.05 TB |
Example: a “1 TB” drive holds 10¹² bytes, which Windows shows as about 931 GB.
Real-world data storage in gigabytes and terabytes

The units
Here, 1,024 MB = 1,073,741,824 bytes (GiB). Decimal gigabyte = 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Used for: Phone storage, mobile data, RAM.
Here, 1,024 GB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (TiB). Decimal terabyte = 10¹² bytes.
Used for: Hard drives and cloud storage.
This page uses binary units (1 KB = 1,024 bytes), which is how Windows and most RAM reports count. Storage makers and macOS use decimal units (1 kB = 1,000 bytes), so both are shown below.
