Generally on hard drive/ssd capacity it will be listed in GiB (Gibibytes). This is the reason a 1 Terabyte drive is actually something like 931 GB showing in your system. Because your system uses GiB and the manufacturer uses GB.
He is right though on megabits to megabytes. Internet speed is advertised in bits/s where files and transfer speeds are usually shown in software as megabytes/s
100Mb/s is 800Mbps. This is 25Mbps to 100Mbps so 3.125mb/s to 8.33mb/s
Mbps = Mb/s = Megabits per second.
MBps = MB/s = Megabytes per second.
The p is just the /. It’s the capital or lowercase B that makes the difference.
Shit I found the one person who can actually remember the written difference bit and byte
As a computer engineer, I had better know. And don’t get me started on MiB vs MB
Please do I’d like to know more! ;)
kB = kilobytes = 1000 bytes
MB = megabytes = 1000 kB
kiB = kibibytes = 1024 bytes
MiB = mibibytes = 1024 kiB

1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
1GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 GB =~ 0.931 GiB
Edit: I had it backwards, it is fixed now
I hope ya know I was just messing with ya hahaha 🤣
;)
You messed it up, actually - it’s the bi units that are 1024
Shit haha appreciate the correction. I fixed it.
Understandable, and I’m really sorry to have to do this to you… But it’s mebibyte, not mibibyte ;D
