Converting from Gigabyte (GB) to Block (block) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Gigabyte (GB)

A Gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information storage. It is commonly used to describe the storage capacity of devices, such as hard drives and USB flash drives. One Gigabyte is equivalent to approximately 1,024 Megabytes (MB) or 1GB=1024MB. In terms of bytes, one Gigabyte equals 1GB=10243B=1,073,741,824B.

What is Block (block)

A Block is another unit of measurement used primarily in the context of data storage. In many systems, a block refers to the smallest unit of data that can be read or written on a storage device. The size of a block can vary but is commonly 512 bytes or 4096 bytes. For the purposes of this article, we will focus on the conversion where 1block=2097152B.
