I'm pretty sure it is 2.5 GiB (gibibytes, so 2.5 x 10243 or 2.5 x 230) instead of 2.5 GB (gigabytes, so 2.5 x 10003)

Storage is usually marketed in base-10-numbers, but RAM size is still in base-2-numbers as far as I know.

Since we're now back in school...

  • Gbit, Gbps, Gb/s, gb are defined as Gigabit and is a unit of bandwidth measured.  It is the capacity to transfer information.
  • GB means Gigabyte which is a unit of storage capacity of HDD, USB drives, flash drives, SD cards, and Solid States

In my eight years in CS, I've never seen anyone abbreviate gigabits (or bytes) as GiB (in fact, that stands for Good in bed ). So nothing I posted was wrong!

I've seem GiB before, but not usual.
