How many Bytes are in a Gigabyte? 

Thanks - hoping this would help a few people!

it would help if it wasnt wrong...

What do you mean wrong Tondii

@@Zip_plane 1 KB (KiloByte) = 1000 Byte (NOT 1 KB = 1024 Byte) 1 MB (MegaByte) = 1000 KiloByte (NOT 1 MB = 1024 KiloByte) conversion : 10^3 Kilo, Mega, Giga, Peta,... ALWAYS divide by 1000 for the next largest unit 1 KiB (KibiByte) = 1024 Byte 1 MiB (MebiByte) = 1024 KibiByte conversion : 2^10 Kibi, Mebi, Gibi, Pepi,... ALWAYS divide by 1024 for the next largest unit

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte for example ---- this is also the reason why your harddrive shows less GB than it should have... for example a 500GB SSD shows a total volume of 465 GB Your PC shows GB (Gigabyte / 10^X) but actually uses GiB (Gibibyte / 2^X) for calculation. So in reality we have 499 GB (465 Byte * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 499.289.948.160 Byte).

I started with a hard drive that had 180 MB capacity.

Heck, I have a 20GB HDD form the early 2000s.

6TB, 1 TB, 1 TB, 600GB that is what I have hook up right now and I want to get a server.

Mine is around 900GB lol

RIP when you have 128GB SSD which is actually only 117GB

@C N Does that mean that Google has largest server in the world?

In like 20 yrs

@@overlordprincekhan No? Research before saying things you dont know.

@@atube2993 Yes, I just confirmed that you're right. Still they hold petabytes amount of data

Yeah I would not delete my hentai

Moiz Rafay i guess thats why it is different colours for different bytes

A gigabyte is 1 billion bytes, for reference

A byte next to a gigabyte would likely be smaller than a pixel. You literally wouldn't see it. It's a magnitude difference of approx. 10^9. As in, one is about 1,000,000,000 times bigger than the other.

@@Dimondium no he means like real world examples like a byte could be a baseball and a gigabyte could be a lake or something

@Daniel no that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying to show data in size so people can understand how much a kilobyte is compared to a gigabyte

Imo it should be the opposite.

Moreover: 1kb is 1000 bits 1kib is 1024 bits (and of course, 1 byte is 8 bits) Notice the little B.

@@fartonaut2291 kibibytes, mebibytes, gibibytes, etc are fun to say though

I'd like to add this only applies to drives (hard drives, cd's, flash drives etc.) Computer software still takes 1GB as 1024MB.

@@kantoros not strictly. Some software can be configured to count/render both ways, others are strictly XiB. GParted is always XiB, Thunar can be either, etc

No your WRONG, read this shit first.

Most computational neuroscientists tend to estimate human storage capacity somewhere between 10 terabytes and 100 terabytes, though the full spectrum of guesses ranges from 1 terabyte to 2.5 petabytes. (One terabyte is equal to about 1,000 gigabytes or about 1 million megabytes; a petabyte is about 1,000 terabytes

No one uses words like mebibyte or gibibyte. Sorry, it's just not gonna happen.

The mebi bibi stuff is a 1998 EIC recommendation. I have never seen any commercial product use it. Think of Intel CPUs, AMD CPUs, RAM. Even the cache on hard drives is expressed as 1024 B = 1 KB Major software, such as Fierfox, Chrome use 1024 B = 1 KB The mebi stuff is mostly used in Linux but even there, it isn't consistent.

@@mrcydonia Though maybe not in your world but these words are actually being used. Since the difference between 1000 and 1024 can be very relevant. Aljandro simply stated a fact wich won't be ridiculed by comments like yours. Sorry, it's just not gonna happen.

@@Borat808 I haven't seen it used except on one video channel where he used it once and for the next videos, he just returned to KB, MB, GB, TB. The kibibi seems to be mostly popular in the Linux world but again, people just say kilobytes, megabytes when they make a video. I think the reason for this is that it sounds ridiculous. They should have created 1 standard or created better sounding prefixes.

@@louistournas120 That is not true. For example the Harddrive manufacturers use it right. They just use for 1 000 000 000 000 Byte = 1 Trillion Bytes = 1Terrabyte (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Disk_drives). Why? Because of marketing. 1 Terabyte sounds better than 0,909 TiByte (10% off from what u believe what 1 Terrabytes means) ;-) U are just a victim of markting tricks. They missabused your unknowlege and that of many others. So, yes your Hard drive space of your 1 TB drive shown in the explorer is not only less than 1 TiByte because of partition table also because they using an It uncommon prefixes. But actually they use at least the correct notation. And this Video just tells something what is not right. True is that many believe that what the video tells and also out of that reasons there are many progs specs ot videos (like this) that are doing that wrong.

Thank you!

Very true!

No

Theese prefixes are a part of a measurement system called SI, and 'Yotta' is the biggest official one, but the 'measurement community' generally agrees that the next is 'Bronto' and after that comes 'Geo'.

Oh yeah yeah bytes

Spacebytes

Next comes "Bronto Bytes and then Geop bytes"

I know.

Its due to winblows.

True, but it is actually used ambiguously from time to time. In some cases, gigabyte is used for 1024. Usually in RAM. I wish they could agree on using the same units.

oh so you're saying= 512 x 2 = 1000? IT'S 1024!!!!!

1024 not 1000

The kibibyte thing is a recent (1998) recommendation from EIC or some european entity. It is not a universally accepted measure. The problem with this is that they created a new standard. It is like using meters for a long time and suddenly, someone decides to invent the mile and sells cars with speedometers in miles/h while streets are in km/h. They should have gone with what was already thought in universities: 1 KB = 1024 B Anyway, it is too late now. There is 3 standards. "Even Microsoft calls Mebibytes, kibibytes etc megabytes and kilobytes this is why the size of a file on your computer is higher in bytes than in MB, KB or other unit." ==MS has been following the traditional meaning of KB since ~1977. Pretty much everyone was using 1 KB = 1024 B except for certain diskette manufacturers. If you prefer kibibytes, switch to Linux but even there, the system is not consistent and it is 2022 now. Under KDE and certain software, it is configurable. You can select between the 3 standards.

pornhub has 11 petabytes, even if the entire internets catalog of porn was 2 stages higher at a zettabyte it still would barely affect the drive

awesome!
