Hello,
I'm looking for a host for my site, I have two options:
2.5 GB and 50 GB ???
What is the difference between GB and GB ??
Thanks in advance, see you soon.

Good evening Recif....
GO = Gigabyte.... (in French) = GB = Gigabyte (in English)
One Gigabyte = One billion bytes and a little more (precisely 2 to the power of 30 bytes).
Unit of measurement for disk memory capacity. One Gigabyte, or Gigaoctet, is equivalent to one billion bytes
Check this out too
However, does your host refer to gigabytes or gigabits?
See you

Hello,
So, to simplify:
1 Go = 1 GB (gigabyte)
and
1 Go = 8 Gb (gigabit)
So be sure to pay attention to what your hosting providers are talking about.

I wanted to know how many songs could fit in 1 GB for my mp4????
thaaaank you in advance!!!!¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤

Hello Mathilde....
Thanks in advance... a little hello would have been nice too... Next time...
The answer to your question.... it depends on the byte size of your songs....
Number of songs = 1 GB divided by the average size (in bytes) of the said songs....
It's a very simple math problem... LOL
The hardest part will be knowing the size of all the songs.... then calculating the average....
Come on, it's Sunday.... you have all your time.... happy calculating.
See you

It is very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room...
Especially when it isn't there...!!!!

Hello,
in English, GB and Gb stand for Gigabyte and Gigabit respectively
1 byte = 1 byte = 8 bits
giga- is a prefix meaning 1 billion
1 Go = 1 gigabyte = 1,000,000 bytes
processors operate in binary, they only process 0s and 1s (current flows, current does not flow), so in the early days, counting was done in powers of 2: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024,...
1 byte contains 8 bits, but 1 kilobyte contained 1024, 1 megabyte => 1,048,576, 1 gigabyte => 1,073,741,824
this quickly became a problem because the standard numerical system is base 10, and this caused confusion, so it was decided in 1998 to bring all this back to the usual standard in base 10 and create binary unit notation.
However, this notation has not been widely adopted and today (9 years later) few professionals are aware of it.
the notation chosen in terms of commercial offers is often the most advantageous for the seller and often misleading.
with Anglo-Saxon notation, it is vital not to confuse Gb and GB, or beware of unpleasant surprises.

To return to the initial question, it is poorly formulated; we should not confuse storage capacity and data rate.
Storage capacity is measured in bytes (2.5 GB = 2,500,000,000 bytes)
and the rate in bits/s; to avoid any confusion between B and b (not B&B either), it is preferable to write bit/s instead of b.
That said, a rate of 50 Gbit/s is huge, certainly a bad example.
It must be said that sellers of all kinds do not help anyone by throwing MEGA and GIGA around without being clear about what they are talking about.
This abusive use of a shortcut that confuses, if not deceives, "amateurs" should be regulated.
Finally,
everyone talks about kilos too.
Pity.

and ... Voili Voilou Voila !
once again,
not a billion and some dusts exactly one billion (10^9) not a single one more and not a single one less.
see: difference between mo and mb#0 and following.
--
I'm quoting you post <21> from difference entre mo et mb#0 and specifying:
indeed,
and furthermore:
1 Kibi == 1024 bits
1 mébi == 1024 Ki ..........1024*1024 = 1048576 bits
1 Gibi == 1024 Mi ...........1024*1048576 = 1073741824 bits
1 tébi == 1024 Gi
etc ... etc.... </ital>
You even cite https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibi which explains exactly the same thing....
by the way, look it up on Google... https://www.google.fr/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGIH_frFR242FR242&q=1+Gb+en+bits&gws_rd=ssl
Computers are "idiotic" machines that use binary calculations... and because of this, we cannot use decimal calculations to deal with computing.
By mimicry, we used the same prefixes (Kilo - Mega - Giga ..etc..)
Then there are quarrels about this fact.... and for a space seller (disk or other storage media), it is obvious that base 10 for calculations being more economical for him ... that's the one he uses....
So everyone agrees that 1 Gigabit or a Gigabyte are "billion and some" bits or bytes except for space sellers, who not liking the dust have done a little cleaning... LoOoL.....
Cheers
it is written Gibi (GI) and not giga (G) for 1073741824.
And then Google (or its translation) is wrong: it should have written 1 Gibibit = 1 073 741 824 and not 1 gigabit.
http://www-rocq.inria.fr/qui/Philippe.Deschamp/RETIF/gibi.html
The 73 741 824 particles do not exist when you write giga,
if you want them to exist you have to write Gibi, that's all.
That’s what rigor is,
you have to get used to it my dear if we want to talk about the same thing.

Excerpt from binary
For a long time, computing has been characterized by the use of different values for the units of the International System. Thus, many computer scientists learned that 1 kilobyte was worth 1024 bytes. However, since December 1998, the international organization IEC has ruled on the matter (https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html
Unfortunately, I am part of the "Ancients" ........ and I have not followed the IEC's decisions....(Shame on me!!!)
Best regards
just to correct your link: https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html
