if you want disk space, you need a larger hard drive... memory is not space.

you can easy calculate from Tera to Giga with multiply by 1024\n\nso 20 TB gives 20*1024 GB which gives 20480 GB

if you added more details it would have helped you more.\ntheres a thousand megs in a gig so you should convert the gigs into megs.\nso for eg.if you had 24 megs and 1.5 gigs. you would say\n24 megs + 1500 megs (1.5gigs) = 1524\n\n if you meant you wanted to get more space on your computer you should get a new hard drive or  a removable hard drive\nif 1 gig equals 1024 then: 3 gig wouls be 3 times 1024 = x

Assuming you have a windows Operating System..\n\n1. Right click on My Computer.\n2. Goto Properties. The General tab would display the amount of RAM.

Hi Raul xgb\n\nYes, 70GB sounds about right. The formula is\n\nClaimed drive space x (1000 x 1000 x 1000) / (1024 * 1024 * 1024) = Real hard drive space\n\nThe problem is a difference in the way your computer reads hard drive space and the way that a manufacturer advertises hard drive space. The computer reads a true gigabyte - 1024*1024*1024 - while the manufacturers report a GB as 1 billion bytes or 1000*1000*1000. Add up the 24*24*24 and you get the difference.

1GB = 1024 MB\n1MB = 1024 KB\n\nso advertised hard drive capacity is not the true capacity due to this factor.\n\nWhen you format the HDD, it's partition (FAT/NTFS) strucure itself requires a space.\n\n\nAlso, when files are stored & creates in hard drive, it's saved as "clusters" which usually takes more space than actual size.\n\nThink of putting books in a box.  The books will not completely fill the box, leaving some spaces & gaps.  Same with harddrive.

500 Gig is stated using 1000 MB to a gigabyte.  The computer uses 1024 MB to a Gig.  so you lose a bit in the translation.  \n\n24*500= 12,000 MB lost to translation.  or, 11.71GB\n\nalso, a certain % of sectors will be defective on every hard disk.  its normal and every drive will not rate as high as stated on the box.  check with your manufacturer to determine whether or not your within acceptable limits of defect.

In computer parlance, \n\n1 Gigabyte equals:\n\n 8,589,934,592 bits\n 1,073,741,824 bytes\n 1,048,576 Kilobytes\n 1,024   Megabytes\n\nI'm sure you must be all confused with some saying 1000 and some saying 1024.  Hence I suggest you go to the following site, where there is a table which will explain this to you in very simple terms and that, indeed 1GB = 1024 MB

although the hard drive is marked to have 40 gb of space it is only limited to 38-37 gb. and a couple of gb's are used up up by the computer for it's other unknown reasons. so you are left with about 5 gb's less than the told capacity of 40 gb.

1 GB is 1024 MB or 1024000 KB.\n512 MB is 512 MB or 512000 KB. \n\nAs for usb flash drives, these storages are rounded and since the flash drives carry their own internal hidden software, keep in mind that about 20 MB is unavailable for your use.

1 GB is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes\n-------------------\n1 KB is equal to 1024 bytes\n1 MB is 1024 * 1024 = 1048576\n1 GB is equal to 1048576 * 1024\nand so on...

1 megabyte (MB) = 1024 kilobytes (KB)\n1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 megabytes (MB)

a million bytes = 1mb     mb=millionbytes\n\n1 gb = 1024 mb's            gb=gigabytes

Your probably thinking of a PetaByte Hard drive.\n\n\n1 PetaByte = 1000 GigaBytes

In My Computer.  Select: Local Disk (C).  View DETAILS, lower left. \nClick on View System Information at the top for the other info.  \n\nClick this link for the kilobyte/megabyte values you requested:\nhttp://familyinternet.about.com/cs/computinghelp/l/aa052401a.htm\n\nHope that helps.

A gigabyte is roughly 1 billion bytes.  A byte is roughly equivalent to one letter.  (2 bytes are used for more complex character sets like chinese).\n\nIf you think of a computer as a desk, the memory is the size of the desktop.  The number of things that you can work on is limited by the size of that desk.  The hard drive is like the drawers.  That's where you store information that you are not currently working with.\n\nMemory takes the form of microchips in your computer.  THey are very fast but don't hold very much and require power to work.  A hard drive is very much like a cassette tape.  You need power to record and play but the information stays on the drive when the machine is turned off.  Hard drives are much slower than memory chips, but also much cheaper per gigabyte, which is why computers have both.
