minus-squareji17br@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-28 months agokB = kilobytes = 1000 bytes MB = megabytes = 1000 kB kiB = kibibytes = 1024 bytes MiB = mibibytes = 1024 kiB Generally on hard drive/ssd capacity it will be listed in GiB (Gibibytes). This is the reason a 1 Terabyte drive is actually something like 931 GB showing in your system. Because your system uses GiB and the manufacturer uses GB. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes 1GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes 1 GB =~ 0.931 GiB Edit: I had it backwards, it is fixed now
minus-squareKubeRoot@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoYou messed it up, actually - it’s the bi units that are 1024
minus-squareji17br@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoShit haha appreciate the correction. I fixed it.
