What is a Decimal Kilobyte?
The decimal kilobyte (1,000 bytes) was standardized by IEC in 1998 to end confusion. Hard drive manufacturers use this definition, explaining why a '1TB' drive shows ∼931GB in Windows (binary vs decimal calculations).
What is a Byte?
The standard byte contains 8 bits, enough to encode one ASCII character. Originally variable-sized (6-9 bits), it standardized to 8 bits with 1960s IBM systems. A terabyte (10¹² bytes) could store about 300 hours of HD video.
