Question 1

How many MB in a GB?

Accepted Answer

1 GB = 1,000 MB (decimal). 1 GiB = 1,024 MiB (binary).

Question 2

How much is 1 GB of data?

Accepted Answer

About 300 songs, 500 photos, or 1 hour of HD video.

Question 3

Why is my storage smaller than advertised?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturers use decimal (1 GB = 1 billion bytes). Operating systems often use binary (1 GB = 1.07 billion bytes). This ~7% difference explains 'missing' space.

Question 4

What's the difference between bits and bytes?

Accepted Answer

1 byte = 8 bits. Storage is measured in bytes (GB, TB). Network speeds are usually in bits (Mbps, Gbps). Divide Mbps by 8 to get MBps.
