About these units
Gigabyte (10^9 bytes) (GB (10^9))
A decimal gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes and is the standard unit for hard drive and SSD capacities. As storage technology scaled into the hundreds of gigabytes and then terabytes, the decimal definition became more practical, allowing consistent scaling across consumer and enterprise devices. However, operating systems often report capacities using binary units, causing user confusion (e.g., a "500 GB" drive showing only ~465 "GB"). This mismatch persists despite standardization efforts.
Kilobyte (10^3 bytes) (kB (10^3))
A decimal kilobyte equals 1,000 bytes, reflecting the SI prefix kilo = 10³. Storage device manufacturers standardize on this definition because it scales cleanly and simplifies marketing and specification. This creates a mismatch with binary kilobytes (1,024 bytes) historically used in RAM and file systems. As storage capacities grew, this discrepancy became increasingly noticeable, leading standards bodies to promote explicit binary prefixes (KiB, MiB) for clarity. Despite these efforts, decimal kilobytes remain dominant in contexts such as hard drives, flash memory packaging, and communication standards.
