What would y'all suggest here?
I just bought a new Maxtor 300 GB (though that's their measure as if 1GB = 1M
bytes) and external usb drive enclosure.
Kai,
More and more
1GB = 1000 * 1000 * 1000
1GiB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024
Several Gov't standards groups (including NIST in the US) have adopted
the above.
Obviously Disk Drive manufacturers have always used the above
convention for GB.
Some Linux Userland tools have been making the switch for the last
couple years and now report GiB statistics. Not very many, but a few.
