Storage Calculation

At Impossible Cloud Storage, we follow a decimal storage calculation where 1 terabyte (TB) is considered 1,000 gigabytes (GB), and 1 gigabyte is considered 1,000 megabytes (MB). This means that when you see our storage pricing of €7.99 per terabyte for the 'Pay-per-use' plan, it is equivalent to €0.00799 per gigabyte.

We adopt this calculation method to provide a consistent and transparent pricing structure for our users. Using a base of 1,000 rather than 1,024 simplifies the storage calculation process and allows for easier budgeting and cost management.

When estimating your storage requirements and understanding the associated costs, keep in mind that each gigabyte is comprised of 1,000 megabytes and each terabyte is comprised of 1,000 gigabytes. This ensures clarity and accuracy when calculating your storage expenses with Impossible Cloud Storage.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with understanding your billing and storage calculations, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We are here to help you make the most of your storage resources efficiently and cost-effectively.
