Common mistakes to avoid

  • Mixing decimal and binary unit conventions

    This page uses 1024-based binary steps. Confirm whether your platform documents decimal or binary units.

  • Comparing values without unit labels

    A raw number is ambiguous. Always include the source unit before converting.

  • Assuming UI labels imply exact byte counts

    Some systems round display values. Use precise unit conversion when accuracy matters.

FAQ

Why do OS values sometimes differ from disk vendor labels?

Many vendors market storage with decimal units, while operating systems often display binary-style conversions. That mismatch creates apparent gaps.
