Not to be too pedantic but gb != GB. The g is unambiguous(though wrong) but the b could be bit or byte depending on the capitalization. 1Gb networking is much slower than 1GB. (.125GB vs. 1Gb)
It's one of my pet peeves so sorry about the digression.
- blasdel 17y agoAs far as I know there are only two situations where b commonly refers to bits: individual raw DRAM / Flash chip packages, and network channel bandwidth. Otherwise it rather unambiguously refers to bytes. On the other hand the G is actually ambiguous -- is it 10^9 or 2^30?
