Frequently asked questions

How many GB in a TB?

On the decimal standard, 1 TB = 1,000 GB. Some systems report 1 TB as 1,024 GB (tebibytes).

Why does my 1 TB drive show less space?

Drive makers use 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, but your OS divides by 1,024s, so a '1 TB' drive shows about 931 GB.
