Memory and storage capacity conventions
Memory and storage capacity conventions
Memory capacities are specified using binary prefixes:
10
KiB = 2 bytes
20
MiB = 2 bytes
30
GiB = 2 bytes
40
TiB = 2 bytes
Storage capacities are specified using SI prefixes:
3
KB = 10 bytes
6
MB = 10 bytes
9
GB = 10 bytes
12
TB = 10 bytes
Older, and other, documentation might use SI prefixes for binary values.
Actual available memory capacity and actual formatted storage capacity for devices are less than specified values.
