    Good evening
    1 Gio = 1 Gibioctet = 1,073,741,824 (1024 × 1024 × 1024 = 2^30) bytes
    See https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gio
    and https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet

      @romasosHello anyway...
      This is precisely what comes out of the standardization of binary prefixes in 1998 by the International Electrotechnical Commission, which specified the prefixes for representing powers of 2.
      See https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet#Multiples_normalis%C3%A9s
      Not to be confused with decimal prefixes expressed in powers of 10.

      And fortunately, you didn't bring up the Gibis ;-))

      Have a good day.
