Look, binary and computer arithmetic predate HDs so HD manufacturers should have stayed with the definition of the the terms KB, MB and GB etc. as understood by computer science. Hell, the chips on their own drives work on these principles. When they say a drive has an 8MB cache, whose standard are they using, SI or computer science? Power of Two notation rules!!! It is sort of like the Power of Three on "Charmed" but after Prue died and before Paige came on board... ;-)
