NOTES: Data Conversions

Everything you save on your computer has a certain file size associated to it. The larger the file size, the more space it takes up on the computer.

Some things such as website, or storage devices limit you as to how much data you can upload or download, so it is important to know the differences between terms, and how they all relate.

Internet images, for example, should be kept very small in their file sizes in order to download the pages quickly.

Below is a list of terms and conversions you should know in order to better understand data storage and data transfer limitations.

1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1,024 Bytes

1 Megabyte (MB) = 1,024 Kilobytes

1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 Megabytes

1 Terabyte (TB) = 1,024 Gigabytes
