Binary GB should technically be "Gibibyte" (Giga binary byte).
That's the IT equivalent of political correctness. MB/GB has always been binary, not SI. The only people who use the SI versions are dishonest companies [e.g. making HDDs sound bigger than they are] & the IT equivalent of the political correct crowd.
