Worth Knowing

Digital storage carries a long-running ambiguity: a 'kilobyte' can mean 1,000 bytes (the decimal sense drive makers use) or 1,024 (the binary sense operating systems often use), and the gap compounds at each step — reaching about 7% by the terabyte. That's the real reason a '1 TB' drive shows up as roughly 931 GB on your computer. The binary units were formally renamed kibibyte, mebibyte, and so on to end the confusion, though the older names persist in everyday use.
