Approximate binary capacity

Example: A drive advertised as 1 TB uses decimal capacity (1,000,000,000,000 bytes), which is approximately 931.32 GiB when expressed using binary units.

Understanding Storage Units

Digital storage can be expressed using both decimal and binary units.

1 KB = 1,000 bytes
1 MB = 1,000 KB
1 GB = 1,000 MB
1 TB = 1,000 GB

1 KiB = 1,024 bytes
1 MiB = 1,024 KiB
1 GiB = 1,024 MiB
1 TiB = 1,024 GiB

Manufacturers generally advertise storage devices using decimal units such as GB and TB. Operating systems may display the capacity using binary units such as GiB and TiB.

This is why a drive advertised as 1 TB may appear as approximately 931 GiB in a computer.
