conventional way of representing these numbers but with the Advent of modern Computing bin or base 2 has sprung up now back when data sizes were much smaller an approximate equivalency was drawn between a decimal kilobyte that is a th000 bytes and a binary Kibby BTE which is 1,24 bytes sure why not it's all good well in their defense the difference was only a couple perc so it didn't matter this led to many cases of the incorrect use of prefixes but if this has been going on for years why are we suddenly noticing it now well customers never really cared when their 16 megabyte thumb drives showed up as 15 megabytes in change you chocked it up to inefficiencies in the formatting or rounding errors but check out this chart right here this shows how much smaller your drive will be if the manufacturer is calculating in decimal and the software is calculating in binary the difference becomes greater gater and greater as capacities continue to increase to make matters worse your hard drive is manufactured and reported in decimal capacities but many operating systems report the capacity in decimal but are actually calculating it in binary and what that means is that that one
