Assuming you mean "powers of 2" vs. "powers of 10", yes, it'd be nice if my "4 TB" HDDs were actually 4 TB instead of ~3.6 TB.

- aaronmdjones 6y agoYour 4 TB HDD is 4 TB (4,000,000,000,000 bytes, or thereabouts). It is also 3.6 TiB, which Windows will say is 3.6 TB.
- shifto 6y agoThis is exactly why this is a dumb change. Lot of people learned it before 1998, before the -bibytes. Even now it's being used as if they were interchangeable.
