Acerca de Data Storage Converter
Why does a 500 GB hard drive show as 465 GB in your OS? Because disk makers count decimal (1 GB = 10⁹ bytes) while operating systems count binary (1 GiB = 2³⁰ bytes). This converter handles both systems side by side: kB/MB/GB/TB/PB in decimal, and KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB in binary, with bits included for network speeds. The clearest way to settle every "missing gigabytes" argument.
