FAQ
Why is storage calculated in 1024?
Computers use binary math, and 2¹⁰ = 1024, so storage units increment by 1024 rather than 1000.
What is the difference between KB and KiB?
KB sometimes means 1000 bytes, while KiB (kibibyte) strictly means 1024 bytes. This tool uses the binary standard (1 KB = 1024 B).
Why does a 1TB drive show less capacity?
Drive manufacturers use 1TB = 1000GB (decimal), but OS uses 1TB = 1024GB (binary), causing about 7% difference between advertised and actual capacity.
