Unless you are a disk drive vendor, in which case you insist it's 10.

Unless you are a disk drive vendor, in which case you insist it's 10.
- can16358p 5y agoWhy? Assuming a byte being 10 bits instead of 8 bits would actually make the drive capacity lower in terms of bytes (of course not physically but for marketing), which a vendor probably doesn't want.
- rileymat2 5y agoI am not sure what the op is talking about with bytes, but it could be powers of 2 v. powers of ten for kb/mb/gb.
- sigio 5y agoYeah, that's the kibibytes vs kilobytes / gibibytes vs gigabytes diffence... Which adds up to ~7% difference in capacity when talking about GiB/GB, and even 12.5% when talking about PiB/PB Kibibyte (KiB) 1,024¹ = 1,024 Mebibyte (MiB) 1,024² = 1,048,576 Gibibyte (GiB) 1,024³ = 1,073,741,824 Tebibyte (TiB) 1,024⁴ = 1,099,511,627,776 Pebibyte (PiB) 1,024⁵ = 1,125,899,906,842,62
