Good to know
Binary (IEC) unit based on powers of 1024. Windows displays these binary sizes with the labels "KB", "MB", "GB" and "TB", which is why they are often confused with the decimal units.
A unit of bits, not bytes: 8 bits make 1 byte. Bit units are used for transfer speeds, byte units for file and storage sizes.
