About the Data Storage Converter
File sizes, bandwidth and storage are quoted in a confusing mix of decimal (KB, MB, GB) and binary (KiB, MiB, GiB) units, which is why a "1 TB" drive shows less space in your operating system. The AlarmDaddy Data Storage Converter switches between bit, byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte and their binary counterparts.
Enter a value, choose the units, and read the result with every unit at once — useful for sizing downloads, backups and data plans.
How to use this calculator
- 1Enter the data size value.
- 2Choose the unit to convert from.
- 3Choose the unit to convert to.
- 4Read the result and the all-units table.
The formula
Decimal units are powers of 1000 (1 KB = 1000 B, 1 MB = 1,000,000 B) while binary units are powers of 1024 (1 KiB = 1024 B, 1 MiB = 1,048,576 B). Both are defined in bytes here so you can convert between the two systems.
Frequently asked questions
Drives are sold in decimal terabytes (10¹² bytes) but operating systems often display binary gibibytes (2³⁰ bytes). 1 TB ÷ 1.0737 ≈ 931 GiB — the storage is there, just counted differently.
