What is data storage?

Data storage is used to translate between storage units, both decimal (Kilobyte, megabyte) and binary (Kibibyte, mebibyte). It is using precise conversion factors.

Which Units can be converted?

A step-by-step guide on how to use the data storage converter calculator

Step by step:

  • Choose “From unit” from bytes, Kilobytes, Gigabytes, Megabytes, Petabytes, Terabytes, Kibibytes, gibibytes, and mibibytes.
  • Choose “To unit” from bytes, KB, MB, GB, PB, TB.
  • Enter the value to convert.
  • After entering the value, click on calculate, and in seconds, you will see the result.

Example 1: If we choose from unit Bytes and to unit kibibytes

  • Enter 1024 in the value to convert box.
  • Step 1: Converting 1024 bytes to kib
  • Step 2: Convert to bytes = 1024 × 1 = 1024 bytes
  • Step 3: Convert to kib = 1024 ÷ 1024 = 1
  • Step 4: Note: *iB units use binary (1024) while *B units use decimal (1000)
  • Result: 1024 bytes = 1.024 kb

Example 2: If we choose from unit Gigabytes and to unit Mebibytes

  • Enter 1 in the value to convert box.
  • Step 1: Converting 1 GB to mib
  • Step 2: Convert to bytes = 1 × 1000000000 = 1000000000 bytes
  • Step 3: Convert to mib = 1000000000 ÷ 1048576 = 953.67431640625
  • Step 4: Note: *iB units use binary (1024) while *B units use decimal (1000)
  • Result: 1GB = 953.6743164 Mib

Example 3: If we choose from unit Megabytes and to unit Bytes

  • Enter 500 in the value to convert box.
  • Step 1: Converting 500 mb to bytes
  • Step 2: Convert to bytes = 500 × 1000000 = 500000000 bytes
  • Step 3: Convert to bytes = 500000000 ÷ 1 = 500000000
  • Result: 500 Mb = 500000000 Bytes
