LoL my bad, topic repost....post has digressed. i'm OP and i'm unfollowing this post. a Mod can delete if they feel so inclined.

You just run away don't you. /s

Which is wrong and a misconception and I wouldn't because a lot of people say it, Barnacules did it and I corrected him so did other people like newegg TV if it's wrong I will correct them it doesn't matter and a lot of forum members know that a 1 GB is 1000MB which dare I say are a tech community.

You must be hilarious at parties

hahaha yea a little. it became TLDR and off topic waaaay too quick for me to keep up and i was doing other stuff. 

[IlDuceSaint]

im studying engineer in hardware, and they taught us that 1GB is indeed 1024MB.

Really how can I be hilarious we I have a serious talk it will be disrespectful parties are different Razer *Ryōta Kise voice* boy.

And they are wrong. Sorta. Since 98.

I was taught that too.

then what is the real size of MB in 1GB?, so i can make a ruckus in my school for false information.

then what is the real amount for 1GB?, so i can make a ruckus in my school for false information.

Well according to IEC and IEEE it is 1000 MB, which is 1000 KB, which is 1000 bytes.

1 GiB is 1024 MiB, and so on

That's pronounced Gibibyte, and sounds just as retarded as it looks. 

Drives use the new SI standard, both becuase it's an IEEE standard as of like 2000 or something like that. 

It was adopted by drive manufacturers For a few reasons

1.for mechanical drives at least (I can't speak for SSDs), the SI units make sense. It's not like memory

2. It's an IEEE standard, and if putting a mini dildo on your drive is a IEEE standard, you better do it or it's WRONG. Or something. Anyway they keep up to "code" with these standards, else the server market might catch on fire or something.

3. The new SI standard makes it look bigger. Would you rather market a  100 GB drive or a 93 GB drive?

 

Of course not everyone adopted. MS didn't for example. 

Have your professor/classmates do this:

Add up all of the size for the partitions in windows for a drive. I'll do mine

647GB, 495GB, 720GB

Those are the 3 partitions on my 2TB drive, those are all rough numbers, rounding down like in explorer for simplicity's sake.

As one volume, that would add up to 1862GB, which is not 2TB obviously. A LOT of techies will tell you it has to do with the formatting or windows or something, which is a load of shit. 

Windows just uses the old GB, now referred to as GiB.

If I take 1862GiB and convert it to GB (google will do this for you, their converter is correct) I get 1999.31, which without rounding down on the partition sizes and counting the ~100MiB system reserved partition would be 2TB or pretty damn close to it.

 

You'll also notice that windows has an area in file properties similar to this:

Size

Size on disk

The size on disk is their way of trying to bridge the gap. 

Now when it comes to memory and some other things, most manufacturers use the 1024 standard written as GB. That's a whole different story. 

This is a really confusing thing and this adaption of the SI units really muddied things up

I completely forgot about the gibibytes, i saw them in class the professor just mention them and give us a table of all the gibibytes, kibibytes, etc., but thats all i saw, i dont get to talk or saw more about it in class, its about decimal and binary, its 1024 with the gigas but its 1000 with the gibi, they are the same but different, thanks for this little lesson, i will cherish this.

I'm being halirous take it and go.

Repost, and 1PB is 1024TB

No, a PB is 1000TB. A PiB (Pibibyte) is 1024TB.

[cesrai]

No, a PB is 1000TB. A PiB (Pibibyte) is 1024TB.

Late to the party bro.

[zacRupnow]

I know its not how the test works but it would be funny if all the data they're going through is actually seeding to TPB

[Syntaxvgm]

seeding doesn't write anything to your drive...it's all read. 

[zacRupnow]

seeding doesn't write anything to your drive...it's all read. 

I know but this test is like a TPB server processing seeds

[cesrai]

What about writing peer address. 

[Shyxlol]

No, a PB is 1000TB. A PiB (Pibibyte) is 1024TB.

 

Still wrong, A PiB (Pebibyte) is 1024 TiB (Tebibyte).

If you're using KiB/MiB (not Man in Black!)/GiB etc. then it always stays 1024 as factor! ( *2^10; *2^20^; *2^30 etc.)

If you're using KB/MB/GB/... then it always stays 1000 as factor (per defininion: kilo = *10^3, mega = *10^6 etc.)

You (most likely) won't ever be using KB and MiB (for example) in the same sentence, and if you want to do that you'd pretty much need to convert either of the two to the other.

 

PS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte

has a sheet on the right which should explain it

That wikipedia page is wrong. We have professors who worked at IBM for more than 15 years who taught us this system. Everything after KiB is not a power of 2. That's why it's such a screwed up system.

Then what is KiB power of 3 ??? How I know it it's 2 for binary 0 and 1.

[Shyxlol]

And there were still several mistakes people were making, so excuse me for trying to point it out (yes, I pointed it out >again<").

Well, that would make no sense tbh. Also, the source for the wikipedia article seems right to me.

Will thanks for pointing It out.

[patrickjp93]

facepalm* KiB is 1024 bytes. A KB is 1000 bytes. A Megabyte is 1000 KB. Here's the kicker. A MiB is 1024 KB, not KiB. that's why anything above a KiB is not a perfect power of 2 (bytes of data). It's a factor of 1000 * 2^10.

It's like the standards people tried to implement on all SQL distributions. No one actually follows them.
