byteequivalents
Byte equivalents refer to the standard units used to express digital information sizes relative to the byte. The byte is the basic addressable data unit in most computer architectures and consists of 8 bits.
Sizes are expressed using prefixes based on either powers of 10 or powers of 2. In decimal
In practice, storage devices often label capacities using decimal prefixes (for example, a 1 TB drive represents
Byte equivalents also intersect with data transfer and encodings. Data rates are typically expressed in bits
