What is a Decimal Megabyte?

The decimal megabyte (1,000,000 bytes) is used by storage manufacturers. A '256MB' USB stick holds exactly 256×10⁶ bytes, while your OS reports ∼244MiB (mebibytes). This distinction causes the 'missing storage' perception.

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).
