Hello,

I would just like to know if 8GB is larger than 32GB, and if so, I would also like to know what is preventing me from downloading a file?

Thank you!

    8 GB means 8 Gigabytes or 8 Go (8 GigaOctets).
    A byte (in English) = an octet (in French).

    So 8 GB is 4 times smaller than 32 Go.

    WARNING! ""Gb"" (with a lowercase "b") means Gigabit, which is 8 times less than Gigabyte!

    Hello,
    to conclude
    byte = Byte
    1 word = 2 Bytes
    1 word = 16 bits
    1 Byte = 8 bits
    The basics for programming.

    Just pay attention to the spelling!
    Byte and bits

    Let me remind you:
    8 GB means 8 GigaBytes or 8 Go (8 GigaOctets).
    A byte (in English) = an octet (in French).
    So 8 GB is 4 times smaller than 32 Go. Quite simply

    It's not math but text interpretation.

    Good evening, and you're mistaken, Scrooge; 8GB is larger than 32GB (=4GB)
    Detail your other issue, please.

    8 Gb = 8 Go so 8<32.
    8 Gb is smaller than 32 Go!

    Good evening
    I just got back to you since I specialize in this field
    GB: technical meaning 10^9 bits (B)
    GO: technical meaning 10^9 octets (o)
    1 octet = 8 bits
    Now for a simple calculation, you can make the comparison yourself
    Thank you

    Good evening, heterosapiens, sorry but a byte is made up of 8 bits... I don't think I made any mistakes.

    8GB=8GO and I have proof of that!!!

    On the PS3, it says 80GB=80GO, so for those who think they are kings of math and technology, they’re in for a tough time :)

    Lol Yolo, do you think you have done any scientific studies with your PS3 box?
    Learn your scientific conversions and come back with something concrete please. ;)

    I have never seen that GBs are smaller than GBs, you are making me laugh.

    I confirm that GO and GB are the same thing, just 2 different languages.

    Non 4, a Byte (B) is composed of 8 bits: so 32:8= 4.

    . No, a byte and an octet are the same thing, but bits and octets are different.

    I think it will last a long time:

    1 Octet = 8 bits

    But 1 byte = 1 octet. (In France, we say "octet", elsewhere they say "bytes" but "bytes" and "bits" are not the same.

    1 Byte = 8 bits)
