Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between bits and bytes?
A byte is a unit of data that is eight bits long. Bits are used to measure data transfer rates (like internet speed), while bytes are used to measure storage capacity.
Why does my 1TB drive show 931GB in Windows?
Manufacturers use the decimal system (1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes), but Windows uses the binary system (1,024 bytes per KB). Our converter handles both!
