How much is 1 byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, etc.?
Question:
How much is 1 byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, etc.?
Answer:
Below is a listing of each of the commonly accepted disk drive space values. It is important to realize that not all manufacturers and developers use these values. For example, a manufacturer may consider a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 and not 1,073,741,824 bytes, we’ve listed the commonly accepted values in their binary base 2 values.
Note: All values expressed below are whole numbers. This means that a GB may show that it can only contain one 650MB CD but in reality 1GB could hold 1.5753… of a 650MB CD. Since we’ve created this document to illustrate how much each value can contain in whole, no decimal values are shown. In other words you can only fit one complete 650MB CD on a 1GB drive since two 650MB complete discs would exceed 1GB.

If you want your partitions to show the exact amount of disk space multiply the amount of space by 1024. For example if you want a 1 GB partition:
100 x 1024 = 102400 MB.
