Hard drive sizes in Gibibytes (GiB) Please!

160 points posted to Advertising and Marketing, Servers and Storage by arclight 02/26/07

The size information on hard drives should be listed in Gibibytes in addition to Gigabytes. Its a much more usefull, or at least practical number to have about a hard drive. It would result in less confusion about the "actual" size of the drive people are getting, and would also save customers having to calculate this number manually
