About Digital Storage
Digital storage has two competing systems, and that alone explains most surprises. Drive makers use decimal units, where 1 GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes. Operating systems often report binary units, where 1 GiB is 1,073,741,824 — which is why a “1 TB” drive shows up as roughly 931 GB. Bits and bytes differ too: 8 bits to a byte, so a 100 Mbps connection downloads at about 12.5 MB/s at best.
