Give it to me straight, is anything higher than 1000 byte referring 1 kb a meme?

>shilling this hard for storage devices manufacturers

It's always was 1024 until corporations realised they can legally cheat the consumers by using the SI kilo etc. meaning all of sudden.

Binary units should be printed in hexadecimal. If it's intended for a human to read and converted to base 10, it should use standard human base 10 units.

Back 2 Jow Forums with your shit.

only post you need to read:

for storage they use 1024, for networking purposes (measuring speed) they use 1000 because there is no reason to use 1024

>buys 4TB HDD
>expects 4TiB HDD
Maybe if you didn't OD on chromozomes, you wouldn't be surprised.

I wonder who could be behind this post?

>Box says 4 TB
>Windows says 3.63 TB
If you are going to use Tibbibytes, at least use the correct abbreviation.

You're really slow. The box is correct.

pol is not welcome here

Thats used by the hardware's backdoor os.

Hex is technically like base 16. The point remains that we use base 2 to n powers because it's easier that way.

>It's always was 1024
It still is, I refuse to recognize the -ibi jibis

This is entirely on Microsoft for not changing once the standard was corrected and by now there's a billion lines of spaghetti depending on it being counted in GiB/TiB but written as GB/TB.

Go away hard drive companies.
Giving me a trillion bytes instead of a terabyte I know your tricks.

1000 bytes = SI = 1kB
1024 bytes = binary = 1KiB

Notice the binary prefix has a capital 'K'.
