The hard drive makers are correct. We should fix the mistake with RAM. 4GB of ram refers to gibibytes, not gigabytes. RAM comes in chunks of powers of 2 due to architecture. There is no reason the capacity of a group of spinning platters needs to be divided up into powers of 2. With that said, there is no reason to rate an SSD in gigabytes over gibibytes. Ironically, my spell checker shows a little red squiggly under gibibyte. Even the developers don't believe it's a real word.
