What is the difference between binarny and decimal?

Binarny (KiB, MiB) uses base 1024: 1 KiB = 1024 bytes. Decimal (KB, MB) uses base 1000: 1 KB = 1000 bytes. RAM and SSDs use binarny; hard drive manufacturers traditionally use decimal.

Why does my 1 TB hard drive show as 931 GB?

Hard drives use decimal (1000-based) capacity labeling, while Windows often displays rozmiars in binarny (1024-based). 1,000,000,000,000 bytes ÷ 1,073,741,824 bytes/GiB ≈ 931 GiB.

Which mode should I use?

Use binarny for RAM, SSDs, and USB drives. Use decimal for comparing manufacturer specifications of hard drives and external storage.

What are the exact conversion factors?

Binarny: 1 KB=1024 B, 1 MB=1024² B, 1 GB=1024³ B. Decimal: 1 KB=1000 B, 1 MB=1000² B, 1 GB=1000³ B.

How do I konwertuj bytes to bitów (e.g. Megabyte to Megabit)?

One byte equals 8 bitów, so the same applies to every prefix: 1 Megabyte = 8 Megabit, 1 Gigabyte = 8 Gigabit. Pick a byte unit on one side (MB) and a bit unit on the other (Mbit) to konwertuj across. Byte units use an uppercase B (MB) and bit units a lowercase b (Mb).
