   Dec 20, 2019 · This means that Windows will allocate 4096 bytes for any file or portion of a file that is from 1 to 4096 bytes in length. If I have a file that is 17KB (kilo bytes), then the Size on disk would be 20.48 KB (or 20480 bytes). The calculation would be 4096 (1 allocation unit) x 5 = 20480 bytes. It takes 5 allocation units to hold a 17KB file.

   superuser.com › questions › 938234

   The major exception to this is in drive capacities; when I purchase a thumb drive or hard drive, I know when it says 32GB, it means 32 Giga-Bytes (32*1000*1000*1000) and not Gibi-Bytes (32*1024*1024*1024), even though my OS will report it in Gibi-Bytes (and thus take my drive from 32GB to an effective 29.8 GiB drive). Also note that there are some flavors of Linux that like to use the KB to ...

   Aug 21, 2024 · Kilobytes are mostly used to measure the size of small files. For example, a simple text document may contain 10 KB of data and therefore it would have a file size of 10 kilobytes. Graphics of small websites are often between 5 KB and 100 KB in size. Individual files typically take up a minimum of four kilobytes of disk space. 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes

   What is the file size on disk?

   • The file size on disk would be 4096 bytes. The reason is, because even though the entire file can fit inside one allocation unit, it still takes up 4096 of space (one allocation unit) on disk (only one file can use an allocation unit and cannot be shared with other files).

   Why does Windows OS show file size in KB?

   • Why Windows OS show size of files in KB (using a capital alphabet "K") when it's a small alphabet "k" for a Kilo in SI units. Again, because it's the JEDEC 100B.01 standard for unit prefixes for semiconductor storage capacity; it's not an SI unit of measure and thus does not have the same meaning.

   What is the difference between size on disk and actual size?

   • So the size on disk is the space of all those sectors in which the file is saved. That means,usually, the size on disk is always greater than the actual size. So the actual size of a file (s) or folder (s) should always be taken from the Size value when viewing the properties window.

Same with sparse files Size is the actual size of the file in bytes. Size on disk is the actual amount of space being taken up on the disk.

   Apr 22, 2022 · For example, I selected 9 files with 6 GB (in fact, GiB, not GB!) each, and Windows says: 54,0 GB (57.982.059.738 bytes) Using a calculator (to convert bytes to Gibibytes) the end result is: 54.000001156703 GiB. Now, if we do this to GIGABYTES (pay attention to this word), this is what we end up with: 57.982059738 GB.
