Capacity Calculation
Capacity Calculation
One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109= 1,000,000,000 bytes and One
Terabyte (1TB) means 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes using
powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports
storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB= 230 =
1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, and
therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity
(including examples of various media files) will vary based on file
size, formatting, settings, software and operating system and other
factors.
