Frequently asked questions

Why are there two answers for data sizes?
Storage makers, networks and the SI standard use powers of 1,000 (1 GB = 1,000 MB). Windows and many apps count in powers of 1,024, which are strictly gibibytes and mebibytes. That is why a 1 TB drive shows up as about 931 GB on a Windows PC.
