> Most companies see 300000mb as 300GB, but OSs see 300000 as 300000/1024 or
293GB..

Actually (for the sake of hair-splitting...), it's worse than that.
Marketers see 300,000,000,000 bytes as 300 GB, while OSes will see it as
300,000,000,000 / (1024 * 1024 * 1024) = 279.4 GB.

I remember reading somewhere that it's the difference between "300GB" and
"300 GB" but I'm not sure if that's true, and if it is I can't remember
which is which.
