Interesting facts:
- A 500 GB hard drive might appear smaller (around 465 GB) on a computer because the OS uses the binary system (1 GB = 1,024 MB) while the manufacturer uses the decimal system (1 GB = 1,000 MB).
- Streaming Netflix in 1080p uses about 3 GB per hour. Streaming in 4K HDR uses 7 GB per hour—meaning a 100 GB data cap could be used up in just roughly 14 hours of streaming.
- The first iPhone (2007) had a 4–8 GB storage option. Today, smartphones can have 512 GB or even over 1 TB of storage.
