UnitConData Storage
Data storage conversion can be confusing because two standards are used. Decimal units treat 1 KB as 1,000 bytes and are common in drive marketing, while binary units treat 1 KiB as 1,024 bytes and are common in operating systems and technical contexts. This difference explains why advertised drive sizes often appear smaller on a computer. The converter supports both systems so users can compare them accurately.
