FAQs
How many MB in a GB?
1 GB = 1,024 MB. This uses the binary system where each unit is 1,024 times the previous unit, not 1,000.
Why is 1 KB = 1,024 bytes, not 1,000?
Computers use binary (base-2) system. 1,024 = 2^10, which is the closest power of 2 to 1,000. This is the standard in computing.
How much storage do I need?
It depends on usage. Photos: 2-5 MB each. HD movies: 4-8 GB each. 4K movies: 25-50 GB each. Games: 20-100 GB each. Plan accordingly.
