Hello,
I would like to know the difference between GO and GB, please
is it a memory calculation unit or not??

Hello,
There is no difference between Go and GB, one stands for Gigaoctet (in French) and the other for Gigabyte (in English)
You will find more information on the forum by following the link below

Hi,
G is the prefix for Giga: 10 to the power of 9.
O is the abbreviation for Octet (a collection of 8 bits)
B is the abbreviation for Byte (a collection of n bits, usually 8...)
Do not confuse the G sold by the disk merchant, which counts in powers of 2, but which are actually according to international standards multiples of 10 (e.g., 1000 and 1024) with Gi (gibibytes) which are true powers of 2.

In any case, this is a unit of quantity (and not of computation)...

"Fools will do anything. It's even how we recognize them"
Erratum: The G from disk manufacturers represents gigadecimals; they count in powers of 10, not 2... A 250GB hard drive indeed has 250 x 10^9 bytes = 250,000,000,000 bytes. Windows, which counts in powers of 2, will translate this to approximately 232.8GiB, which is 232.8 x 2^30 = approximately 250,000,000,000 bytes...
A song is on average 5MB, so you can put +/- 1400 songs (since your iPhone supposedly has 8GB but when you start it, there’s already more than 7.4GB left if I remember correctly)

No!
GB and Gb are not the same thing. The lowercase and uppercase do not represent the same unit.
1 Go is 10^9 octets (or 2^30 according to... but that's not the subject).
1 GB is the same thing, but expressed in English (Byte)
On the other hand, 1 Gb is 10^9 bits. And one byte = 8 bits.
So 1 GB = 8 Gb, otherwise written:
1 Go = 8 Gb.

A byte is a sequence of bits, but not necessarily 8...
The confusion is easy, as most systems currently operate with 8-bit encoding, but other systems (large mainframes) work with 6-bit encoding, or 9 bits (with one physical parity bit) or 36 bits (32 bits + 4 bits of physical parity).
The translation of byte could be 'word'...

Yeah, I've already read those stories (I don't understand a thing), but in the end, it's not even the point... We'll accept that because it'll make the topic simpler ;)

You have bytes and bits
1 byte = 8 bits
1 byte in English is 1 bytes, be careful not to confuse it with 1 bit.
If we talk about file size and you see, for example, a file of 700MB, that's in English, meaning 700MO in French.
But if you're talking about your internet speed, for example 8Mega, it's actually 8MBits (so your download speed will be 1 Mega byte) you divide by 8.

Hello,
Strictly speaking, the notation is Go and not GO.
Best regards.

I am coming to correct an error induced by the information you gave me: "Orange just called to tell me that I will be moving to 8 GIGA soon," . They probably told you 8 Megas. Indeed, even those on fiber optics have a maximum speed of 100 Mbits/s. So you cannot have 8 Gbits/s with ADSL. Using the same calculation principle, your maximum speed would be 1 Mo/s.
See you!
See you!
GB = giga bytes
Gb = giga bit
