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 Kilobyte?
Technically 1,024 bytes (2¹⁰), the kilobyte (KB) was redefined in 1998 as 1,000 bytes for storage devices. A plain text novel occupies ∼500KB, while the original 1981 IBM PC had just 16-64KB of RAM.
