1 One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000
bytes and One Terabyte (1TB) means 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000
bytes using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports
storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB= 230 =
1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes,
and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity
(including examples of various media files) will vary based on file
size, formatting, settings, software, operating system and other factors.
