    Spreading the word of IEC units: it’s “1.46 TiB” and “200 MiB” btw.

        Yeah, that why IEC units carry only one meansing. It’s all that stupid JEDEC that standardized SI units to binary multiples. Dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

          When you make up new words - see ‘fetch’ - you can decide it means everything you want.

          Doesn’t mean that validating hard drive vendors’ scams is somehow right to do.

            Which scams? HDD/SSD AFAIK use SI units so that checks out for me.
