The gibibyte is closely related to the gigabyte, which can either be a synonym for gibibyte, or refer to 10⁹ bytes = 1,000,000,000 bytes, depending on context (see binary prefix). The "gibibyte" term was created so that hard drive manufacturerers would not be accused of attempting their customers by using "gigabyte" to equal 1,000,000,000 bytes, rather than 1,073,741,824 bytes as it then meant. A gigabyte (derived from the SI prefix giga-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one billion bytes. ... In computing, binary prefixes can be used to quantify large numbers where powers of two are more useful than powers of ten. ...
