Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • SI: 1 GB = 1000 MB = 10⁹ B. Binary GiB = 2³⁰ B.
  • Hard drives use SI; OS may show binary — discrepancy ~7%.
  • Mobile data plans: SI GB.

Avoid these

  • Expecting 64 GB drive to hold 64 × 1,073,741,824 B — it's 64 × 10⁹ B (7% less by binary measure).
  • Confusing GB with Gb (gigabit, 1/8).
  • Mixing GB and GiB without noting the discrepancy.
