Nitpick: 1Gb is only an eighth of 1GB and I think you meant the latter.

  I knew the difference between a gigabit and a gigabyte but didn't know there were official symbol units for them. According to Wikipedia a gigabit is indeed Gb and a gigabyte is GB. Having the only difference be case was always bound to cause confusion. :/

    Yes, I hate that, not only since sometimes people accidentally get it wrong like just now, but what if it's in all lowercase? What is 32gb? Oh it's multiple of 8 so it might be bits.... Imagine how great this world would be if we just settled on gbit for bits and any variation of GB for bytes.

      Storage is usually in bytes while speeds are usually in bits.

      32 gb is a bit weird. But when people write mb, it should be read as "millibit", which is terribly small.
