    One must make a clear distinction between the By of byte, the b of bits, and the O
    An English Byte is actually an Octet. So yes, 1Gbyte = 1Go
    On the other hand, an octet (or Byte) = 8 bits. So 1Go=8Gb, or 1Gb=1/8Go
    Be careful, there is a ratio of 8 in one case, and an equality in the other.

      Yes, and some people actually use it.

      I bought an 8 GB USB stick, thinking "this is cheap."

      Of course, it’s only 1 GB...

      Thank you!!!

      You shouldn't underestimate people,
      but you must never forget that they can be.

      this is honestly a scam.

      in principle, we use Gigabytes (GB) when we talk about storage capacity,
      and we use Gigabits (Gb or Gb/second) when we talk about the speed of a transmission.

      Exactly, that's one way to proceed. But be careful once again, we can talk about Bytes or bits for storage too; it's not recommended but it remains correct, as long as we specify it clearly in writing, or hear the word orally.
      Don't get fooled, but it's true that some play on that. Always ask: how much is that in KB? Check that they are indeed talking about Bytes or Octets, or bits.
      The sly ones, after all.

      yeah, the bits are nasty.

      1 Gb = 0.125 Go or roughly 1 Go = 8 Gb

        faux tu confonds GB et Gb.

        GB = GigaByte = GigaOctet
        Gb = Gigabit = Gigabit

    B = Byte = Octet
