What is Gibibyte?
A '''gibibyte''' (GiB) is a unit of measurement in computers and similar electronic devices. One gibibyte holds 1024 [[mebibyte]]s (MiB). Some people call this number of bytes a [[gigabyte]]. This would be considered the binary equivalent to the base-10 gigabyte, which consists of exactly one billion bytes. A gibibyte is equivalent to 2<sup>30</sup> bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes) while a gigabyte is 10<sup>9</sup> bytes (1,000,000,000 or a billion bytes). 1024 gibibytes make one [[tebibyte]]. == Related pages == * [[Kibibyte]] * [[Mebibyte]] * [[Tebibyte]] * [[Pebibyte]] {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Units of information]]
