300 _GB_ is the correct naming, as the prefix Giga meaning 10^9 is way older than the "mistaken" computer parlance meaning of 2^30. This second meaning should use instead the new standard GiB (gibibite).
I think a byte is always 2^8, no matter what. So, a GB referenced as (2^8) * 10^9 sounds kinda odd, especially when you historically talk about kilobyte as 1024 (2^10) and a megabyte as 1024*1024 (2^20). =) ----------------------------------------- Aegroto, dum anima est, spes esse dicitur Powered by Open-Xchange.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
