Computer systems traditionally use binary (base 1024) for memory and storage, while manufacturers often use decimal (base 1000) for marketing. This creates a ~7% difference that grows with larger units.
Binary (1024): Operating systems, RAM, file systems
Decimal (1000): Hard drive capacities, network speeds, ISP bandwidth
The IEC recommends using KiB, MiB, GiB for binary units (1024) and KB, MB, GB for decimal units (1000), though this isn't universally adopted.
