How to: Data Storage Converter
- Type a size.
- Choose the units.
- Read the result.
Storage sizes come in decimal (MB, GB) and binary (MiB, GiB) units, which is why a "1 TB" drive shows less space on your computer. Convert between them and network speeds.
Common uses
- Understand drive capacities.
- Estimate download times from Mbit/s speeds.
- Check file sizes against upload limits.
Tips for best results
- 1 GB = 1,000 MB, but 1 GiB = 1,024 MiB.
- 8 bits = 1 byte.
Decimal vs binary units
Storage makers use decimal prefixes (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes), while Windows and some tools show binary values (1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes). That is why a “1 TB” drive shows about 931 GB in Windows – nothing is missing.
Bits, bytes and internet speed
Internet speeds are quoted in megabits per second (Mbit/s), file sizes in megabytes (MB). Divide by 8: a 100 Mbit/s connection downloads about 12.5 MB per second in ideal conditions, so a 1 GB file takes around 80 seconds.
