the prefix kilo means 1000 when referring to speed and 1024 when referring to storage.
true
false

Explanation:

In computing, when referring to storage, the prefix "kilo" (as in kilobyte) is based on powers of 2. Since \(2^{10}=1024\), a kilobyte is \(1024\) bytes. When referring to speed (e.g., in data transfer speed like kilobits per second), the metric system is used where kilo means \(1000\).

Answer:

True
