How many Bytes are in a Gigabyte?

What is a Gigabyte, Terabyte, or a Petabyte? These terms tell us how much digital information you can store. This video starts with a bit (one or zero) and goes upward in size until you reach terms that are not common place yet: such as Exabyte and Yottabyte.

What do you mean wrong Tondii

[@xtondii]

@@Millyinsanewomen 1 KB (KiloByte) = 1000 Byte (NOT 1 KB = 1024 Byte) 1 MB (MegaByte) = 1000 KiloByte (NOT 1 MB = 1024 KiloByte) conversion : 10^3 Kilo, Mega, Giga, Peta,... ALWAYS divide by 1000 for the next largest unit 1 KiB (KibiByte) = 1024 Byte 1 MiB (MebiByte) = 1024 KibiByte conversion : 2^10 Kibi, Mebi, Gibi, Pepi,... ALWAYS divide by 1024 for the next largest unit

[@xtondii]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte for example ---- this is also the reason why your harddrive shows less GB than it should have... for example a 500GB SSD shows a total volume of 465 GB Your PC shows GB (Gigabyte / 10^X) but actually uses GiB (Gibibyte / 2^X) for calculation. So in reality we have 499 GB (465 Byte * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 499.289.948.160 Byte).

One way to make the animation better would be to use size comparisons with things next to each other. I forget what a byte looks so small next to a gigabyte because the visualization is the same. The way we process information is not the same

A byte next to a gigabyte would likely be smaller than a pixel. You literally wouldn't see it. It's a magnitude difference of approx. 10^9. As in, one is about 1,000,000,000 times bigger than the other.

For increments of 1000, we use the standard metric prefixes, kilo, mega, giga, tera, etc. For increments of 1024, we use kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi, and so on. 1000 bytes = 1 KB, 1024 bytes = 1 KiB

[@mrcydonia]

No one uses words like mebibyte or gibibyte. Sorry, it's just not gonna happen.

[@louistournas120]

The mebi bibi stuff is a 1998 EIC recommendation. I have never seen any commercial product use it. Think of Intel CPUs, AMD CPUs, RAM. Even the cache on hard drives is expressed as 1024 B = 1 KB Major software, such as Fierfox, Chrome use 1024 B = 1 KB The mebi stuff is mostly used in Linux but even there, it isn't consistent.

They should have created 1 standard or created better sounding prefixes.

They just use for 1 000 000 000 000 Byte = 1 Trillion Bytes = 1Terrabyte (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Disk_drives). Why? Because of marketing. 1 Terabyte sounds better than 0,909 TiByte (10% off from what u believe what 1 Terrabytes means) ;-) U are just a victim of markting tricks. They missabused your unknowlege and that of many others. So, yes your Hard drive space of your 1 TB drive shown in the explorer is not only less than 1 TiByte because of partition table also because they using an It uncommon prefixes. But actually they use at least the correct notation. And this Video just tells something what is not right. True is that many believe that what the video tells and also out of that reasons there are many progs specs ot videos (like this) that are doing that wrong.

Sorry for being the paragraph nerd, but... 🤓☝ You made a slight error there. A kilobyte is NOT 1024 bytes, it's 1000 bytes. The term you are looking for is a "kibibyte." Same goes for mebibytes, gibibytes, tebibytes, pebibytes, etc. Each is 1024 times the previous one. The sequence of kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, petabyte, etc. is the instance where each is 1000 times larger. The difference is small at first, but gets quite large (up to 1.4 times larger!) as you venture into the larger numbers.

3:26 How about "Yodabyte"

[@Death_Star109]

Yodatabyte LOL

[@SHIN2024_official]

No

[@mightytmz933]

your the best youtube ever, you deserve 10.24 million subs

[@beni2cc]

1024 is not Gigabyte, it is Gibibyte

[@TrueMathSquare]

I know.

[@TrueMathSquare]

Its due to winblows.

[@Mr.FastZombie]

True, but it is actually used ambiguously from time to time. In some cases, gigabyte is used for 1024. Usually in RAM. I wish they could agree on using the same units.

[@restlessgoose]

oh so you're saying= 512 x 2 = 1000? IT'S 1024!!!!!

[@yinyang1217]

Imagine a day in the future when humans need Yottabytes of information to perform basic functions

error 404 Out of storage 256 yottabytes of hentai taking up storage

[@neatlum8272]

just get the new flash drives from microsoft, the biggest they got is 1000 yottabytes

[@heyderaliyev8976]

I used to take you Not that serious before Jared, but after seeing this video, I understand that you are quite serious content creator, just awesome, keep it up 👍👍👍

[@zakgd]

1000 megabytes is 1

[@zakgd]

Finish the sentence

[@maxx1o1]

no

[@extrem2497]

1024 not 1000

[@soisaus564]

Gigabyte, we're used to KB, MB but now thats a real GIGAchad

DIS IS SUPER USEFUL! NOICE!

Marcsx you learn this in school btw....

Almost everyone confuses Megabytes with mebibytes (and every other units) Kilo is a decimal unit prefix which stands for 10³ or 1 000 This means that kilobyte is 1 000 bytes, not 1 024 A Kibibyte should be used as it stands for 1 024 But hardly anyone uses these correctly and everyone just agreed on calling kibibyte a kilobyte even when referring to 1024. Even Microsoft calls Mebibytes, kibibytes etc megabytes and kilobytes this is why the size of a file on your computer is higher in bytes than in MB, KB or other unit. *Here's an example and proof:* We have a File with size of 42,1 MB or 44 228 608 bytes Right of the bat the sizes doesn't match, there's over 2 Megabytes difference. To prove that Windows actually measures in Mebibytes not megabytes we just put the size in Bytes to convert it to mebibytes. Voila! 42,179 Mebibytes! If we converted it to Megabytes, we would just get 44,2 MB which Is just divided by 1 million which is what MEGA stands for.

[@louistournas120]

The kibibyte thing is a recent (1998) recommendation from EIC or some european entity. It is not a universally accepted measure. The problem with this is that they created a new standard. It is like using meters for a long time and suddenly, someone decides to invent the mile and sells cars with speedometers in miles/h while streets are in km/h. They should have gone with what was already thought in universities: 1 KB = 1024 B Anyway, it is too late now. There is 3 standards. "Even Microsoft calls Mebibytes, kibibytes etc megabytes and kilobytes this is why the size of a file on your computer is higher in bytes than in MB, KB or other unit." ==MS has been following the traditional meaning of KB since ~1977. Pretty much everyone was using 1 KB = 1024 B except for certain diskette manufacturers. If you prefer kibibytes, switch to Linux but even there, the system is not consistent and it is 2022 now. Under KDE and certain software, it is configurable. You can select between the 3 standards.

[@helvette31337]

kilobyte is 1000 bytes because kilo is 10^3 kibibyte is 1024 bytes because kibi is 2^10 OS like windows use kibi but display KB and when your flash is 32 gb and in windows its say that it less see amount of bits and it will be about 32 000 000 000 but its not 32 GiB, system count 2^n, not 10^n, many users dont know that. kilo- mega- etc is used because people doesnt give a heck about 1024 for them its like 1000 but for more volume will be bigger infelicity so when its 32 gb it will display ~29.8

[@jan_sipiki]

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@horizontbeskrajneinovacije6440]

Thank you...another Great visualization... It would be interesting to see one on the physical aspect of 🖥️ memory...and how it is made...🙂

[@coolbro8922]

Makes sense because 1024 does sound good like 32, 64, 128, 180, 12, 17, 24, 8, and more numbers sound useful

[@fortiusgomez7216]

Please continue making Tb, Pb, Eb, Zb and Yb. I want to know more about storages of any devices.

Great content, especially when I want to wrap my mind around how much a 2TB flash drive can hold...

Why is this recommended to me in 2019, exactly two years after the upload date?

These videos are great. Very educational.

[@No1sonuk]

I read somewhere that the 1024 came from the old magnetic-core memories having a 32 x 32 grid.

[@sarahbingham1133]

Well, we have 1TB MicroSD cards now. Soon we will have to use the SDUC standard and the exFAT filesystem. WOW!

[@noorhafizat]

Not just that. Now the SD card now have 100 TB now.

[@skeaselau68]

Soo.... An average "Homework" folder is measured in yottabyte

[@JaredOwen]

😂

[@meso_p]

imagine inventing the yottabyte you just added onto an existing pattern and came up with the dumbest name it doesn't even have an use

[@Laceykat66]

2:14 Hey, watch it with the "Old" comment kid. Those disks were the lifeblood of a lot of our machines back then.

[@dedmemes.]

I swear in the future when new games come out everybody is gonna complain about only having one yottabyte storage
