Disks and data
GB and GiB
Gigabyte (1000³ bytes) vs gibibyte (1024³ bytes): why a “100 GB” disk shows as 93 in the system.
Disk makers and some providers count in decimal gigabytes, while Linux and Windows count in binary ones (GiB) yet write “GB”. The difference is about 7%.
So 93 “gigabytes” on a “100 GB” VPS is not a cheat but different units. The unit converter helps translate one into the other.
