The metric system

In some cases when used to describe data transfer rates bits/bytes are calculated as in the metric system as follows:

• 1 MB = 1,000,000 bits/bytes
• 1 kb = 1,000 bits/bytes
• 1 bit/byte

The period (.) is used as decimal separator.

The calculations is based on:

In the cases when used to describe data storage bits/bytes are calculated as follows:

• 1 byte = 8 bits
• 1 kilobyte (K / Kb) = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes
• 1 megabyte (M / MB) = 2^20 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
• 1 gigabyte (G / GB) = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
• 1 terabyte (T / TB) = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
• 1 petabyte (P / PB) = 2^50 bytes = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
• 1 exabyte (E / EB) = 2^60 bytes = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes

The period (.) is used as decimal separator.
