Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What is the difference between KB (kilobyte) and KiB (kibibyte)?
KB uses decimal base-10 (1,000 bytes), while KiB uses binary base-2 (1,024 bytes). Storage manufacturers use KB, but operating systems often display KiB.
Q.Why does my 1 TB hard drive only show 931 GB in the OS?
The drive is labeled using decimal TB (1,000,000,000,000 bytes), but your OS divides by 1,073,741,824 to show TiB, resulting in roughly 931 GB of visible space.
Q.Can the tool convert values larger than terabytes?
Yes, it supports petabytes (PB), exabytes (EB), and even larger prefixes, maintaining accurate scaling across the entire SI and IEC unit range.
Q.How are fractional storage values like 0.5 GB handled?
The tool uses double-precision arithmetic, ensuring conversions of decimal inputs maintain accuracy down to many decimal places before rounding for display.
