		2 gigabit/s is the speed of current Fibre Channel interfaces.
		To clarify the distinction between decimal and binary prefixes, in 1997 the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), a standards body, proposed conformity with the International System of Units (SI) conventions (standard IEC 60027-2).

		It also clarifies that, from the point of view of the IEC, the SI prefixes only have their base-10 meaning and never have a base-2 meaning.
		Sectors are intended for direct transfer to RAM, which comes in powers of two, so sector size itself is almost always a power of two (some early 1960s sectors measured 100 bytes [2]).

	Definitions of the SI units: The binary prefixes
		In December 1998 the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the leading international organization for worldwide standardization in electrotechnology, approved as an IEC International Standard names and symbols for prefixes for binary multiples for use in the fields of data processing and data transmission.
		The full content of Amendment 2, which has a publication date of 1999-01, is reflected in the tables above and the suggestion regarding pronunciation.
		Subsequently the contents of this Amendment were incorportated in the second edition of IEC 60027-2, which has a publication date of 2000-11 (the first edition was published in 1972).

		The answers are all in IEC 60027-2, developed by TC 25 (Quantities and units, and their letter symbols), published in November 2000 and now gradually being adopted in the IT world.
		The second edition of IEC 60027-2 (Letter symbols to be used in electrical technology – Part 2: Telecommunications and electronics, to give it its full title) was developed specifically to meet industry’s expressed needs in data processing and data transmission.
		The new prefixes and symbols for binary multiples standardized in IEC 60027-2 are not part of the SI metric system of units.

		In 1999, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) published Amendment 2 to "IEC 60027-2: Letter symbols to be used in electrical technology - Part 2: Telecommunications and electronics".
		The names come from shortened versions of the original SI prefixes and bi which is short for binary.
		The IEC did not give names for the prefixes beyond exa-, but if they had given them names, they would probably be zebi- and yobi-.

		To clarify the distinction between decimal and binary prefixes, in 1997 the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), a standards body, proposed complete conformity with the International System of Units (SI) conventions (standard IEC 60027-2).
		Although most hard disk manufacturers' definition of GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes (only computer memory has a natural inclination towards units that are powers of 2), most computer operating systems use the 1,073,741,824 byte definition.

		We will use the phrase "decimal unit" to mean "SI designation understood in its standard, decimal, power-of-1000 sense" and "binary unit" to mean "SI designation understood in its traditional computer-industry, binary, power-of-1024 sense." We will also use the computer-industry conventions B for byte (despite B being the official, but rarely-used SI symbol for bel).

		But when attempting to apply these SI units in practice, problems are encountered.
		For example, one kilobyte (in the conventional sense) is equal to 2
		If one wanted to express 1000 bytes (the SI kilobyte) the value of x must be approximately 9.9657843 (7 decimal places), obviously this number is very difficult to work with and shows that SI units do not simplify matters.

		However, computer people found it far more important to talk about 1024 somethings, because that a number that's convenient for computers to talk about; it's 2^10 (2 to the 10th power, or 2 raised to the 10).
		In more recent years, it became sufficiently important to talk in terms of 1000s and 1024s of units separately, so the distinction between k and K, m and M, etc was born.
