Hello,
Can someone check if my table is correct:
bytes - Megabytes - Gigabytes - Terabytes
That is to say 1,000 bytes = 1 MB
1,000 MB = 1 GB
1,000 GB = 1 TB
Is that correct?
Thank you for your response

1 kB actually equals 1,000 bytes
1 MB: 1,000,000 bytes
1 GB: 1,000,000,000 bytes
Otherwise, there are also the kibibyte, mebibyte, gibibyte, etc. (few software respects this convention)
1 KiB = 1,024 bytes
1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes
1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
What follows was true before 1998 and is now completely false:
1 kB = 1,024 bytes
1 MB = 1,024 kB = 1,048,576 bytes
1 GB = 1,024 MB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
See also 1 Kilo-byte = 1024 bytes to better understand the difference.-
Hello
Indeed, some software like Firefox (!) uses the old notation. <= the most important of all is still Windows, which keeps distorting everything. ;-)
To be clear: 1 MB = 1000 kB, that’s the decimal system, but Windows, among others, continues to count in binary (1 MiB = 1024 KiB) while using decimal prefixes, which confuses everyone. -
