Gigabyte (GB)

A Gb is a unifying symbol for the Gigabyte. A gigabyte is made up of multiple-unit bytes, which store the digital information and denotes the size of data. A byte is a size, which is made up of 8 bits. A bit is a single unit of data. It can be ‘0’ or ‘1’. And, the short form of Gigabyte is ‘Gbyte‘.

In the word gigabyte, Giga denotes the ninth power of 10, which means 10⁹. In computer science and IT, the GB unit equals 1024³ or 2³⁰ bytes. 1 Gigabyte is equivalent to the following values:

2³⁰ bytes,
1,000,000,000 bytes (B),
1,000 megabytes (MB).

A gigabyte is a unit, which is larger than a megabyte and smaller than the unit terabyte. This unit is used for measuring the storage capacity. A solid-state drive may hold a capacity of 256 GB, and a hard drive may store a capacity of 750 GB.

The Random-Access Memory (RAM) is also measured in Gigabytes like 1GB RAM, 2GB RAM, or 4GB RAM
