1 kB is 1000 bytes, though. 1 kiB, on the other hand, is 1024 :)

- bayindirh 6y ago1kiB (kibibyte) is standardized as 1024 bytes in 1998. Before that it was kilobyte which was used for 1024 bytes [0]. > Prior to the definition of the binary prefixes, the kilobyte generally represented 1024 bytes in most fields of computer science, but was sometimes used to mean exactly one thousand bytes. When describing random access memory, it typically meant 1024 bytes, but when describing disk drive storage, it meant 1000bytes. The errors associated with this ambiguity are relatively small (2.4%).
