Question 1

Is data storage conversion safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's safe. All conversions are performed locally in your browser; input data is never uploaded to any server.

Question 2

What's the difference between KB and KiB?

Accepted Answer

KB (kilobyte) is decimal, 1 KB = 1000 bytes; KiB (kibibyte) is binary, 1 KiB = 1024 bytes. Hard drive manufacturers often use decimal, while operating systems use binary, so the 'nominal capacity' may slightly differ from what the system displays.

Question 3

How to convert bits and bytes?

Accepted Answer

1 byte (Byte) = 8 bits (bit). Internet speed is often measured in Mbps (megabits per second), and download speed in MB/s (megabytes per second) is divided by 8.
