What is Megabyte?

The megabyte is a unit of digital data equal to 1,000 kilobytes (one million bytes). A typical MP3 music file is 3 to 5 MB, and a high-resolution photo is about 3 to 10 MB. Email services commonly set attachment limits around 25 MB. In the early days of computing, the standard floppy disk held 1.44 MB, and megabytes were the primary measure of hard drive capacity.

What is Gibibyte?

The gibibyte is an IEC binary prefix unit equal to exactly 2 to the 30th power bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). Linux and many other operating systems display memory and disk capacity in gibibytes for precision. There is approximately a 7.4 percent difference between a gibibyte and the SI-based gigabyte (one billion bytes), which explains why a new hard drive appears to have less capacity than advertised.
