Data Capacity Converter Online - tera, giga, mega, kilo bytes and other data storage
Data Storage Capacity Converter is online conversion tool to translate units of data capacity.
This is bytes/kilobytes/megabytes/gigabytes and terabyte converer. You can easily convert kilobytes to megabytes,
gigabytes to megabytes, terabyte vs gigabyte, kilobytes vs megabytes. You can see how many kilobytes is in a gigabyte, how many bytes makes 1000 terabytes, etc. Additionaly,
you can calculate how many standard typescript pages/books/floppy disks can be stored on given capacity (e.g. CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Blu-ray, ...)

Typescript Page
For the need of the converter, we assume that average typescript page
includes 1800 characters including spaces (circa 30 lines, 60 chars per line)
Average HDTV Movie
HD (High Definition) technology needs many more storage then standard DVD.
For the need of the converter we assume that 2 hour HD movie recorded with
60Mbit per second speed is about 43GB.
Average DVD
Capacity of Digital Video Disc (or Digital Versatile Disc) can vary from
4.5GB to 16GB depending on the standard. For the need of our converter,
8.5GB DVD has been choosen.
4 layer Blu-ray disk can hold 100GB of data (circa 25GB per layer).
How many kilobytes in a giga (Example 1)
If you want to know how many kilobytes is in one gigabyte, simply type 1 into edit box labeled 'gigabyte' and the converter will show you the result in the edit box labeled 'kilobyte' (in this case: 1,048,576 KB). Additionaly, you can get the answer how many kilobytes is in one megebyte, terabyte or how many KB can be stored on CD-ROM, DVD, ...
How many books can be stored on 1000 terabyte data storage
(Example 2)
To get information how many average books (100 pages, 1800 characters on each page) can be stored on 1000 terabyte data storage, type 1000 into the box labeled 'terabyte'. The result will be shown in edit box labeled 'books' (in this case: 6.108398e+9 = 6,108,398,000 - more than 6 billion books). Additionaly you can see that 1000TB can hold 5120 hard disks (200GB each) or 40960 Blu-ray discs (25GB each) and so on.
