What would y'all suggest here?
I just bought a new Maxtor 300 GB (though that's their measure as if 1GB = 1M bytes) and external usb drive enclosure.
Kai, More and more 1GB = 1000 * 1000 * 1000 1GiB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 Several Gov't standards groups (including NIST in the US) have adopted the above. Obviously Disk Drive manufacturers have always used the above convention for GB. Some Linux Userland tools have been making the switch for the last couple years and now report GiB statistics. Not very many, but a few.
