Ever wondered what a gigabyte (GB) really means when you're buying a new phone, choosing a mobile data plan, or saving a file? A gigabyte is one of the most common measurements of digital capacity.

In this guide, we'll break down exactly what a GB is, what you can fit into it, and why the storage space you buy isn't always what you see on your device.

A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital data storage, equal to one billion bytes. The plural form is gigabytes.

GB vs. GiB: Why Your Hard Drive Shows Less Space

While a gigabyte (GB) is commercially defined as 1 billion bytes (10⁹ bytes), operating systems like Windows often measure storage using a binary system.

In this system, the correct term is a gibibyte (GiB), which is equal to 2³⁰ or 1,073,741,824 bytes.

This ~7.4% difference is why a hard drive advertised as 500 GB might appear as only 465 GiB on your computer.

This discrepancy exists because manufacturers sell storage using the decimal system (powers of 10), while most operating systems measure it using the binary system (powers of 2).

What Can You Store in One Gigabyte (1GB)?

A single gigabyte (1GB) offers a substantial amount of storage for everyday use.

For perspective, 1 GB can typically hold:

Approximately 300 high-resolution photos.
About 2 hours of standard-definition video.
Roughly 250 songs in a standard MP3 format.
Over 100,000 pages of plain text.

This capacity makes it a standard unit for measuring file sizes, app downloads, and mobile data plans.

A Brief History of the Gigabyte

In the early 1980s, a gigabyte of storage was an immense, costly amount of data, primarily found in multi-million dollar supercomputers.

The first gigabyte-capacity hard disk drive, IBM's 3380, was released in 1980. It weighed over 500 pounds and cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Today, gigabytes are a routine measure for devices that fit in our pockets, such as smartphones, SD cards, and USB drives, showcasing the exponential growth of data technology.
