As I said before to Dave, go complain to the hardware manufacturers who
redefined GB to mean 1000 MB in order to be able to claim bigger sizes
on the packages

Not where I live. The *claim* to be "320 GB" or something on the
packaging, but that's really the 1000 MB variant and the small print
says so.
