Digital Storage Capacity

Data storage conversion covers bits, bytes, and their multiples. Essential for understanding file sizes, storage capacity, and data transfer requirements.

Basic Units

Bit is the smallest unit (0 or 1). Byte = 8 bits. These form the foundation of all digital storage measurements.

Binary vs. Decimal

Computer systems use binary (1024-based) prefixes: KiB, MiB, GiB. Marketing often uses decimal (1000-based): KB, MB, GB.

Storage Evolution

From kilobytes in early computers to terabytes and petabytes in modern systems. Cloud storage and big data drive capacity growth.

Common Applications

Computer storage, file management, network bandwidth, data backup, cloud storage planning, and system specifications.

Conversion Tips

1 GB ≈ 1 billion bytes (decimal) or 1,073,741,824 bytes (binary). Storage vendors typically use decimal, operating systems use binary.
