A gigabyte (GB) is a measure of computer data storage capacity that is roughly equivalent to 1 billion bytes. A gigabyte is two to the 30th power or 1,073,741,824 in decimal notation. The term is pronounced with two hard Gs. The prefix giga comes from a Greek word meaning giant.
The term gigabyte is commonly used to mean either 1000 3 bytes or 1024 3 bytes. The latter originated as compromise technical jargon for byte multiples that needed to be expressed by the powers of 2 but lacked a convenient name. 1 GiB = 1073741824 bytes (= 1024 3 B = 2 30 B) is the definition used by Microsoft Windows in reference to computer memory (e.g., RAM). 2  This definition is synonymous with the unambiguous IEC standard name gibibyte.
