Stating one of the great confusion in the era of technology, the GB, GiB and GB confusion. These three terms are often confused with each other and often misspelled.
GB – spelled as Gigabyte – The term is ambiguous i.e. it depends on the context. While referring to secondary storage it means 10^9 whereas while referring to primary memory it means 1024^9.
GiB–spelled as Gibibyte – It is used while referring 1024^9. It can be used with any entity with the same meaning.
GB–spelled as Gigabit – It is used in specifying the speed of a network connection. This term is used in networking concepts.
Similarly, the “G” here can be replaced by any of the used acronym for other units like “K”, “M”, “T” etc.
