The abbreviated way to express 500,000,000,000 bytes is 500 GB, where GB stands for gigabytes. In the binary system, it could also be represented as approximately 476.837 GB (based on 1 GB = 2^30 bytes). However, for most practical purposes, 500 GB is commonly used.
1 megabyte = 1,048,576500mb x (1,048,576 bytes/1mb) = 524,288,000bytes
5gb stands for 5 gigabyte or 5 billion bytes and 500mb stands for 500 megabytes or 500 million bytes so 5gb is bigger than 500mb.
500 gigabytes = 500,000,000,000 bytes.1 byte = 8 bits.500,000,000,000 X 8 = 4,000,000,000,000 (4 trillion) bits or 4 terabits.Related Information:The 'bit' is the smallest unit of information ... sort of the atom of information ... and it can't be split into anything smaller. A byte is eight of these, so the smallest fraction of a byte is 1/8.To play with metric prefixes:-- tera... = 1 trillion-- giga... = 1 billion-- micro... = 1 millionth-- 500 giga... = 500 billion-- 500 giga... / 1 micro... = 500 billion million = 5 x 1017
Megabytes means millions of bytes. Actually a bit more, because of the way "mega" is used in computer science. So, 500 megabyte is a little more than 500 million bytes. It is also about 1/2 of a gigabyte.
Depends on how you count. Strictly speaking a MB or megabyte is 1000 KB (= kilobytes). 1 KB is 1000 bytes. So 4 MB, is 4,000,000 bytes. This way of counting is often used by storage manufacturers. Softwarewise, a MB usually means a mebibyte, or mega binary byte, sometimes abbreviated as MiB for clarity. 1MiB = 1024 KiB (=kibibytes or kilo binary bytes). 1 KiB = 1024 bytes. So in your case, 4 MB (or more accurately 4 MiB) = 4*1024*1024 bytes = 4,194,304 bytes. As you know, current computers use binary language (i.e. base 2). 1000 isn't a power of 2, but 1024 is: it is 2 to the 10th power. Hence the preference of choosing 1024 instead of 1000 for software related amounts. The difference between 4 MB and 4 MiB may seem insignificant, but as the amounts increase, the difference becomes more important. E.g., when a project leader requests 500 GB of diskspace (i.e. expecting 500 GiB or 536,870,912,000 bytes), and you buy 500 GB worth of storage (i.e. 500,000,000,000 bytes) , you'll be 36,870,912,000 bytes or a little over 34 GiB short. If your not sure whether the person uses the decimal (1000) or the digital (1024) MB, simply ask. Better safe than sorry.
That depends. Given that the average hard drive is 500 GB, you have approximately 536,870,912,000 bytes of storage on your computer. This diesn't include the amount of space taken by your OS or other necessary program files. 1024 bytes equals 1 KB 1024 KB equals 1 MB 1024 MB equals 1 GB 1024 GB equals 1 TB
1000 GB, or one terabyte (TB), is a unit of digital information storage that equals 1,000 gigabytes. It can hold approximately 250,000 photos, 500 hours of HD video, or millions of documents, depending on the file sizes. In terms of bytes, 1000 GB equals about 1 trillion bytes (1,000,000,000,000 bytes). This capacity is commonly used in hard drives, SSDs, and cloud storage services.
It is either 0.1 GB, or 0.093 GB, depending on whom you ask. Storage devices are advertised as decimal (or "metric") gigabytes, which is 109 or 1,000,000,000 bytes. Microsoft Windows, and indeed most programs written by classic programmers, use binary gigabytes, which is 230 or 1,073,741,824 bytes. The latter definition gives a better view of how much storage is used, because storage devices store sections of 512 (29) bytes at once, not 500 bytes. This eases address computations, etc. as computers naturally use binary numbers. Manufacturers use decimal values so that neophyte computer users can understand exactly how much capacity they're buying.
GB = Giga Bytes 500 GB HDs are probably going to be big enough for all your storage needs, unless you've got ALOT of video .
Yes, this is MORE than enough. 31.9kb, is about 500 times less than that of the 15.9 MB. 1 kilobyte ( KB ) is 1000 bytes. one Megabyte (MB) is 1,000,000 bytes. and for reference one gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 (GB) 1000 KB is one MB. 1000 MB is one GB.
That really depends on what you expect to do. If you only need to run office applications, chat and send email and save a few thousand pictures you will probably do really well with 500GB. If you need to back up other systems on your network or get into serious video editing, you will run out of space fairly quickly.
