Capacity Calculation

One Gigabyte (1GB) means 10

9

= 1,000,000,000 bytes and One

Terabyte (1TB) means 10

12

= 1,000,000,000,000 bytes using

powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports

storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB= 2

30

=

1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 2

40

= 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, and

therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity

(including examples of various media files) will vary based on file

size, formatting, settings, software and operating system and other

factors.
