AFAICT these articles support my assertion that 1000-based units should be used: - IEC recommends 1000-based units: "1 MB = 1000000 bytes (= 10002 B = 106 B) is the definition recommended by the International System of Units (SI) and the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC.[2] This definition is used in networking contexts and most storage media, particularly hard drives, flash-based storage,[3] and DVDs […]" - "Practically all manufacturers of hard disk drives and flash-memory disk devices[3][4] continue to define one gigabyte as 1000 000 000 bytes, which is displayed on the packaging." While GiB is technically *accurate*, GB would therefore be *less confusing*. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
