Reference
Decimal (SI) — powers of 1,000: 1 KB = 1,000 B · 1 MB = 1,000,000 B · 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 B
Used by: hard drives, SSDs, flash storage, network speeds.
Binary (IEC) — powers of 1,024: 1 KiB = 1,024 B · 1 MiB = 1,048,576 B · 1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 B
Used by: RAM, operating systems, file sizes reported by Windows.
A "1 TB" hard drive ≈ 0.909 TiB — the gap widens at each magnitude.
