Re:Why is 1 GB equal to 10^9 bytes instead of 2^30? by sspiff on Sunday April 06, 2014 @10:17AM (#7541008)
Their claimed storage is correct. "Real gigabytes" are what disk manufacturers, and Linux, and others report. Microsoft calculates gibibytes (GiB, 2^9) but has always labeled them as gigabytes (GB, 10^3), which is what perpetuates this confusion.
