How it works

Storage units are a genuine source of anger: a 500 GB drive shows as 465 GB because the drive maker uses powers of ten and the operating system uses powers of two. Both are shown side by side, so the missing gigabytes stop being a mystery.

The formula

Every unit is defined by how many base units it is worth, so the conversion is value x factor(from) / factor(to).
