MB into GB

[Mole]

is 10000 - 10GB?

[Exphoster]

If you mean 10000mb, its not.

1024mb = 1gb

[Mole]

how many mb's makes 10GB's

[fireshark]

10000, 10240 depending on who you ask.

[Mole]

??? my quest is how many mb it takes to make 10GB

[Abush]

10240 mb make 10gb. Some people like using the 1000mb=1gb method to make it simple...

[utcrazy]

10,000MB in the industry, in reality it's actually 10,240.

[XeonGX]

u can't say Mb or mb, Gb or gb

Gb means gigabit,

means
1 GB= 8Gb
1 MB= 8Mb
1 Byte= 8bit

[Fried]

u can't say Mb or mb, Gb or gb

Gb means gigabit,

means
1 GB= 8Gb
1 MB= 8Mb
1 Byte= 8bit
But I'm sure most of the time when people say mb/Mb they refer to MB.

Don't think about it so much and use the 1000MB -> 1GB conversion, it'll only do your head in.

[GamePhreak]

The hosting industry standard is 1000MB = 1GB.

[Serverextreme]

I think this will help you understand how to brake the Megabite down..

I always go by google

Just search

10GB in MB

and you'll get the answer. 10240MB

[Mole]

wouldnt 10000 be 10GB?

[[JSH]John]

It would be in the hosting industry but really.. 10240MB is 10Gb.

The definitions can change from the ones we learned back in school.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte

So, officially, 10000MB = 10GB.

sweet..ty Krak_Joe

[Mole]

talk to you about what?

[JodoHost]

So, officially, 10000MB = 10GB.

thats primarily the SI definition of kilo which stands for 1000.
But in computers, operating systems and software use KB = 1024 bytes, whether its disk storage or memory.

Good grief people! Back to Kindergarten!

Computers use binary on / off states to represent information and because
of this fact, all unit measurements are always an equal power of "2".

A single binary on / off state represented as "1" or "0" respectively is a "Bit".

8 Bits make up a "Byte"
1,024 Bytes makes up a "Kilobyte"
1,024 Kilobytes makes up a "Megabyte"
1,024 Megabytes makes up a "Gigabyte"
1,024 Gigabytes makes up a "Terabyte"

To answer the question:

The industry standard and only officially recognized value for Gigabyte
is the values given above.

Some people just round off values and multiply by thousands but this is
only good for estimation and does not give you an accurate total.

Any host that offers 10,000 MB legally has to say 10,000 MB and cannot
say 10 GB because they are not actually offering 10 GB and that actually
falls under DTPA and a host could actually get nailed on a technicality if
they used a calculation of 1,000 vs. 1,024 and advertise that they
offer Gigabytes.

There is a bit of a legal loophole though in that a host could dress up what
they advertise with words such as "almost" or "nearly" and then using the
Gigabyte measurement would not be false advertising.

Example: We offer nearly 2 GB web space on all accounts!

(In the above example, the host might offer 2,000 MB instead of 2,048 MB
as they used the word "nearly" in their advertising. Without that quantifier
though, the host would be legally bound to setting the limits at 2,048 MB)

At our own hosting service, we offer our members 2 GB of web space
which means the limits are actually setup properly as 2,048 MB.

how many mb's makes 10GB's

1gb = 1024mb
10gb = ?

1024mb * 10GB = 10240mb

10240mb is equal to 10GB

[[ih]Demetris]

Lets not forget the all mighty petabyte which is 1024 terabyte just had to do it to throw somebody off..lol

It will make a difference only when you tell 1000GB --> 1TB. What about the rest 24 GB? Isnt that huge? But as everyone says, 10000 MB --> 10 GB

Hey buy...
Your 512Kbps BroadBand isnt 512 KB per second. Its 512 Kbps so its 512 kilo bits per second and not kilo bytes per second. Dont get carried away with it. Same as the 100Mbps is not same as 100MBps
