There's a thousand of them, morons. If they didn't mean real gigabytes, why the hell would they list it in GB? IT'S A FUCKING INTERNATIONAL STANDARD.

1000GB as labeled by a HDD manufacturer would be around 931.32GiB.

GiB is a post-hoc invention to hide the fact that drive manufacturers are ripping people off and I'm having none of it.
