Thank you

    Hello,

    There is no difference between GO and GB; one means Gigaoctet (in French) and the other Gigabyte (in English).

    You will find more information on the forum by following the link below.

      Simple remark: Except that b, as he wrote, corresponds to bit in non-byte (B). For some time now, rigor has disappeared from the writings. We now commonly write g instead of G for giga.
