What does the Data Storage Converter do?
Storage makers, mobile networks and most phones use decimal units (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes). Windows uses binary calculation (1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes) but labels it “GB”. That is why a “1 TB” drive appears as about 931 GB on a Windows PC — no space is missing.
The converter shows both systems side by side, plus megabits and gigabits used for internet speeds.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my 1 TB drive show 931 GB?
Windows divides by 1,024 three times but still uses the label “GB”.
What is the difference between Mb and MB?
Mb (megabit) is one-eighth of an MB (megabyte).
Which units does macOS use?
Modern macOS uses decimal units, so a 1 TB drive shows as 1 TB.
