Good to know
Decimal (SI) unit based on powers of 1000, as used by drive manufacturers. Windows reports sizes in binary units (powers of 1024) but labels them "KB", "MB", "GB" and "TB", so the same file or drive shows a smaller number there.
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.
