GB 和 GiB 的区别

GB 和 GiB 的区别


 

Gibibyte (GiB) is one of the standard units used in the field of data processing and data transmission (along with mebibyte (MiB)kibibyte (KiB), etc.). Gibibyte, mebibyte, and kibibyte are defined as powers of 2.

1 GiB equals 230 bytes or 1,073,741,824 bytes. Gibibyte is closely related to gigabyte (GB), which can be a synonym of gibibyte or can refer to 109 bytes or 1,000,000,000 bytes in accordance with International System of Units (SI).

Gigabyte (GB) can have different meanings in different contexts. When referring to computer memory, gigabyte is allways a “power of two” - 1,073,741,824 bytes, but when measuring hard drive capacity it is often defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes. Generally, operating systems calculate disk and file sizes using binary numbers, so a new 500 GB drive you've just purchased would be reported by the OS as "465.66 GB" (meaning 465.66 GiB).


 

=============== TB GB  MB KB =================

1 TB = 1012 bytes = 1000 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 bytes

1 GB = 109 bytes = 1000 x 1000 x 1000 bytes

1 MB = 106 bytes = 1000 x 1000 bytes

1 KB = 103 bytes = 1000  bytes

============================================

 

=============== TiB GiB  MiB KiB ===============

1 TiB = 240 bytes = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes

1 GiB = 230 bytes = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes

1 MiB = 220 bytes = 1024 x 1024 bytes

1 KiB = 210 bytes = 1024  bytes

============================================

 

1 GiB = 1.073741824 GB

465.66 GiB ≈ 500 GB


 

总结

GB十进制 的,GiB 才是 二进制 的。

但是现在经常在写法上,习惯用 GB 代替 GiB,导致有些应用场景下,会产生概念上的混淆。

就会导致一个商业误导,商家宣称一个 500 GB 的硬盘,其实只有 465 GB(其实这里的单位应该是GiB) 左右。
