About Digital Storage Conversions
Storage units confuse people because decimal (SI) and binary (IEC) prefixes have overlapped for decades. Manufacturers sell in decimal: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Operating systems long counted in binary: 1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. That 7.4% gap widens with every step up, which is why a '1 TB' drive reads as roughly 931 GiB in your file manager. The IEC defined unambiguous binary prefixes (kibi-, mebi-, gibi-) in 1999, but they never fully caught on. Decimal and binary stay apart below, so a spec sheet and a file manager finally agree.
