| ::I'm sorry I wasn't concise enough. Here are the relevant quotes that show clearly that when it comes to storage it is discussed in 1MB = 1,000,000bytes. From SanDisk(memory stick manufacturer) "''Disk Drive Companies such as SanDisk define 1 MEGABYTE as 1,000,000 BYTES.'' Operating Systems define 1 MEGABYTE as 1,048,576 BYTES (1024K X 1024K or 2 to the 20th power)." and from Maxtor(harddrive manufacturer) "''Hard drives are marketed in terms of decimal (base 10) capacity''. In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, and one Gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. However, computers (and programs such as FDISK) use the binary (base 2) numbering system. In the binary numbering system, one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes, and one gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. ". That is concrete proof that Storage manufactures consider 1MB to be equal to 1,000,000 bytes, not 1,048KB. | |||
