... industry has erroneously used the value "32k" to describe 321024 bits because it was the first to misuse SI prefixes to describe disk storage capacity, file size, memory size, and data transmission rates (10 Gigabit Ethernet, 6 Gb/s SAS). For example, the capacity of 8 bits per ...byte is often reported as "279.4 GB". The computing industry uses prefixes like kilo (k), mega (M), giga (G), and tera (T) to describe RAM capacity. The modern de facto standard of a 300,000,000,000 byte drive is reported as "When referring to hard drive capacity, one gigabyte, or...
