1 gigabyte equals 1000 megabytes, 1 megabyte equals 1000 kilobytes, and 1 kilobyte equals 1000 bytes.

To give you some idea of the storage potential, a byte is used to store a character of text. If a line is 50 characters then a 1000 bytes is 20 lines of text, if a page is 50 lines, then 2500 bytes is a page and so a megabyte is 400 pages of text or a long book. So you can store a library of 1000 long books without pictures on a GB storage unit.

Pictures require far more storage space. The amount needed depends on the size and resolution. You can put 1000 one MB picture on a 1 GB unit. Movies are frames of pictures and require vastly more storage and audio adds to the storage requirements.

How much is two gigabytes?

2GB is two gigabytes or 2,000,000,000 bytes of data. A byte is commonly 8 bits (0 or 1) of data. This is a common data storage capacity on "thumb" or "flash" drives available today. This compares with 300-500 GB that is commonly available on PC hard drives today. Interestingly, this compares with the 0.7GB that is the maximum data staorage capacity of a CDROM.


How is the data read from the device of GB and MB?

Data is read from devices in gigabytes (GB) and megabytes (MB) by using binary measurement units, where 1 GB equals 1,024 MB. Devices access data through their storage systems, which interpret binary code into readable information. The operating system or software typically displays this data size in user-friendly terms, allowing users to understand how much data is available or used. The read speeds can vary based on the device type, such as SSDs or HDDs, affecting how quickly data can be accessed and transferred.


What does 0.99 GB mean is that equivalent to 1 GB?

0.99 GB (gigabytes) means that the amount of data is slightly less than 1 GB. Specifically, 1 GB is equal to 1,024 megabytes (MB), so 0.99 GB is approximately 1,014 MB. While 0.99 GB and 1 GB are close in value, they are not equivalent, as 0.99 GB represents a small deficit of data compared to a full gigabyte.
