Data size conversions are confusing because of two competing standards: SI (1 KB = 1,000 bytes, used by hard drive manufacturers) and IEC (1 KiB = 1,024 bytes, used by operating systems). This discrepancy is why a "1 TB" hard drive shows as ~931 GB in Windows. Our converter handles both systems and explains the difference clearly.

حول Data Storage Size Converter
Data size conversions are confusing because of two competing standards: SI (1 KB = 1,000 bytes, used by hard drive manufacturers) and IEC (1 KiB = 1,024 bytes, used by operating systems). This discrepancy is why a "1 TB" hard drive shows as ~931 GB in Windows. Our converter handles both systems and explains the difference clearly.
كيفية الاستخدام
- Enter a value and select the unit (bit, byte, KB, MB, GB, TB, KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB).
- See conversions across all units in both SI and IEC standards.
- Toggle between SI (powers of 10) and IEC (powers of 2) display.
- Use the "hard drive vs OS display" comparison to understand the real vs advertised capacity gap.
الصيغة والمنهجية
SI: 1 KB = 10³ bytes = 1,000 bytes. 1 MB = 10⁶ bytes. 1 GB = 10⁹ bytes. 1 TB = 10¹² bytes. IEC: 1 KiB = 2¹⁰ bytes = 1,024 bytes. 1 MiB = 2²⁰ bytes. 1 GiB = 2³⁰ bytes. 1 TiB = 2⁴⁰ bytes. Bit/byte: 8 bits = 1 byte. Network speeds in bits/s; storage in bytes.
