Yes it is and if I am not wrong it´s 1024MB that equals to 1 TB. I think it´s something like this: 8 bits = 1 byte 1024 bytes = 1 MB 1024 MB = 1 GB 1024 GB = 1 TB If I am wrong please correct me. I edited the above since I wrote wrong the first time. |
In modern notation, 1TB == 1000GB. MB and its friends have come to mean 1000 to the power of X (decimal units). They used to mean 1024 to the power of X (binary units). In old operating systems, you'll see disk space denoted in MB or GB. Modern O/Ses use MiB and GiB, but that doesn't necessarily mean MB = decimal and MiB = binary. In common speech, people still use MB and GB to refer to the binary units. It's often up to the reader/listener to discern which units a person might be referring to based on the context. For instance, when talking about hard drives, MB often refers to the decimal unit. When talking about RAM, MB is always the binary unit.
Both of you are wrong (above). The actual tables look something like this:
For binary notation:
1 bit = 1b
8 x 1b = 1B (one byte)
1024 x 1B = 1KiB (one kilobyte or "kibibyte")
1024 x 1KiB = 1MiB (one megabyte or "mebibyte")
1024 x 1MiB = 1GiB (one gigabyte or "gibibyte")
1024 x 1GiB = 1TiB (one tebibyte)
1024 x 1TiB = 1PiB (one pebibyte)
For decimal notation:
1 bit = 1b
8 x 1b = 1B (one byte)
1024 x 1B = 1KB (one kilobyte)
1024 x 1KB = 1MB (one megabyte)
1024 x 1MB = 1GB (one gigabyte)
1024 x 1GB = 1TB (one terabyte)
1024 x 1TB = 1PB (one petabyte)
No, bardicverse, it's not a pedobyte. That would be a byte with its bits engineered specifically for children, which makes no sense.
