To what?

1 Kilobyte = 1024 bytes

1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes

1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes

1 Terabyte = 1024 Gigabytes

Hard drive manufacturers use a decimal, base 10 conversion rate to calculate capacity where 1GB = 1 Billion Bytes or 1000^3 Bytes. However, most Operating Systems use a binary, base 2 conversion rate where 1GB = 1.074 Billion Bytes or 1024^3 Bytes. Therefore, an advertised 250GB (250 Billion Bytes) hard drive's capacity based on your system's standard is 233GB.
