Looks like they forgot to show it to a geek before publishing. Not only did they claim a TB is 1024 GB, but they did so just after saying a TB is 1000 GB. Also

Looks like they forgot to show it to a geek before publishing. Not only did they claim a TB is 1024 GB, but they did so just after saying a TB is 1000 GB.
Also: interesting to note that the graph of dollars per GB has continued to decrease rapidly. Consumer-level drives are currently at about $0.08 per GB.
- markbao 17y agoI don't see that anywhere except for the part where they talk about the hard drive holding 1000GB. That's the standard way of measuring hard drive space for most drive manufacturers.
- jmillikin 17y agoAbout halfway through they state 1 TB = 1000 GB, which is correct. Further down, they have comparisons of relative size from MB to PB, where they incorrectly use binary units.
- calcnerd256 17y agoIt is correct to use binary units unless you are selling hardware. We say TeraByte, but we mean TibiByte.
- tedunangst 17y agoThe 1998 price seems way off. IIRC I had a 4GB hard drive that year in a computer that cost at most $2000. I doubt more than half its cost came from the hard drive.
