| Short for Gigabyte, GB by most standards is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. However, the IEC defines a GB equal to 109 or 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Therefore, a GB could be either of these values; many hard disk drive
manufacturers and computer manufacturers will define what they
consider a Gigabyte to equal in the fine print.
A Gb, or Gigabit, is different from a GB; see our Gigabit
definition for additional information.
