BartBB6898y@Dacexi is correct.
The confusion of 1024 or 1000 is not because there are two definitions for kilobyte, it's because there are kibibytes which most people don't know by name. -
Dacexi119968y@BartBB and thats the reasin your 500gb hdd doesn't show as 500 but something like 470. Because windows uses gibibytes

I'm fully aware, my point was that most people do not even know of the concept "kibibyte". -
retnikt67758yKilobyte (KB) = 1000 Bytes
Kilobit (Kb) = 1000 Bits
Kibibyte (KiB) = 1024 Bytes
Kibibit (Kib) = 1024 Bits
