What is a gigabyte (GB)?

A gigabyte is a unit of digital information equaling 10^9 bytes in the decimal system, often used to specify data storage capacities and file sizes.

How many terabytes are in one gigabyte?

One gigabyte is equal to 0.0009765625 terabytes based on the decimal system conversion.

Why do storage capacities sometimes appear different from expected values?

Differences may arise because some systems use binary units (like gibibyte or tebibyte), which are slightly larger than decimal units, causing apparent capacity discrepancies.
