How to: Data Storage Converter

  1. Type a size.
  2. Choose the units.
  3. 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.

Tips for best results

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.
