Ben Brocka Ben Brocka Another important but complex thing to note here is that binary exponents were used for technical and performance reasons, clusters on your hard drive clusters are sized in binary increments, so even if you report bytes as a kilobyte you're treating the byte differently between OS and user, which isn't always ideal.
Decimal notation seldom has a place in computer science, and this is one of the very few times that comes to the surface to the user, so it's a tricky issue. You're pretty much forced to adopt a second standard because of that. Everything else: storage and networking, is more appropriately measured in decimal numbers as they have no intrinsic connection to binary.

It's not really a concensus so much as an official standard The question link is dead — user Add a comment. I would argue that this only apply to English-speaking users, since we do not even use "kilo-" anywhere.
Also, according to leo. Why k should be used for and Ki for Papou Papou 91 1 1 silver badge 2 2 bronze badges. YvonneAburrow The JEDEC standard documents common usage, but then says "this practice frequently leads to confusion and is deprecated" — endolith. Further more show the actual size in tooltips, e. Abbreviated label: 42 KB Tooltip: Agreed on KB as default.

Chem1 Virtual Textbook. Butyric acid is responsible for the foul smell of rancid butter. Summary Two species that differ by only a proton constitute a conjugate acid—base pair.
Suppose that we have a connection of kbps or , bps, thus becomes. There are several reasons. But there are cases where the transmission is serial bit by bit and information is not necessarily "packed" in 8-bit characters. Differences Between K bits Per Sec. And K Bytes per sec. Kbps and KBps.
It is either 0 or 1. In data communications, a Kilobit is one thousand bits. It is used to measure the amount of data transferred per second. Note the capitalization. The lowercase b is commonly used to denote bits, while the uppercase B is used for bytes. A kilobyte is now bytes. Actually, a kilobyte can be bytes or bytes. If it is listed as kB lowercase k , it is a decimal kilobyte and is bytes. If it is listed as KB uppercase k , it is a binary kilobyte and is bytes.
And yes, the k can be capitalized. In fact, whether it is capitalized affects the meaning as described above. The names they put on devices for amount of storage space are fals. Somehow we accepted this as the norm. Your analogy is not entirely correct, as you do see different volume bottles in a six pack, as in 12oz,
