When numerical modifiers such as K, M, and G are used, they typically indicate powers of 2, not powers 10 20 of 10. For example, 1 KB equals 1 024 bytes (2 ), 1 MB equals 1 048 576 bytes (2 ), and 1 GB equals 30 1 073 741 824 bytes (2 ). When expressing storage capacity, MB equals 1 000 KB (1 024 000). The value is determined by counting the number of sectors and assuming that every two sectors equals 1 KB. Note: Depending on the operating system and other system requirements, the storage c
