Tool Tips
Binary (Base 1024): Commonly used for RAM and storage in Operating Systems (Windows/Linux). Uses units like MiB, GiB.
Decimal (Base 1000): Used for network speeds and by storage drive manufacturers (HDD/SSD). Uses units like MB, GB.
Understanding PiB to KiB Conversion
Data storage is measured in different units depending on the standard used.Binary units (like KiB, MiB, GiB) use a base of 1024, which is how operating systems like Windows calculate file sizes.Decimal units (like KB, MB, GB) use a base of 1000, which is often used by hardware manufacturers to label hard drives.

KB vs KiB: The Difference
Storage manufacturers use the Decimal system (Base 10), where 1 KB = 1000 Bytes. Operating systems like Windows use the Binary system (Base 2), where 1 KiB = 1024 Bytes. This is why a '500 GB' hard drive appears as '465 GB' on your computer.
