si vs binary units 3

SI units like kilobytes (1000 bytes) are based on powers of 10, making them consistent with the metric system, while binary units like kibibytes (1024 bytes) are based on powers of 2, which align with how computers actually address memory. This discrepancy often causes confusion, especially with storage devices, where manufacturers use SI units for drives, but operating systems often report sizes in binary units, making a 1 TB drive appear as roughly 931 GiB.
