dcterms:description The gigabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information storage. The prefix giga means \(10^9\) in the International System of Units (SI), therefore 1 gigabyte is \(1,000,000,000 \; bytes\). The unit symbol for the gigabyte is \(GB\) or \(Gbyte\), but not \(Gb\) (lower case b) which is typically used for the gigabit. Historically, the term has also been used in some fields of computer science and information technology to denote the \(gibibyte\), or \(1073741824 \; bytes\).
