About Gigabytes
A gigabyte (GB) = 10⁹ bytes (SI). All consumer HDDs, SSDs, SD cards, USB drives, and smartphones advertise in GB. Media sizes: 4K Blu-ray 66-100 GB; 4K Netflix film 10-15 GB; modern AAA PC game 50-200 GB; Google Maps offline country data 5-30 GB. The IBM 350 RAMAC (1956) stored 0.00000375 GB; a Seagate Exos 20 TB holds 20,000 GB - 5.3-million-fold increase in 66 years. 1 GB = 10⁹ bytes = 1,000 MB.
About Kibibits
A kibibit (Kibit) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bits (IEC 80000-13) - the binary counterpart to the kilobit. Defined to eliminate ambiguity between 1,000-bit and 1,024-bit 'kilobits'. Used in FPGA/ASIC block RAM sizing (a 32 Kibit block RAM = 4,096 bytes) and JEDEC DRAM specs. RSA key lengths (e.g. '4096-bit') are exact counts, unaffected by the kib/kb distinction. 1 Kibit = 1,024 bits = 128 bytes.
