      To be clear, I’m fine with RAM being base 2 – it’s rather difficult for it not to be given the structure – but for fixed storage, this is an old-school measurement that only gets worse with each order of magnitude.

        I don’t have a problem with bits or bytes as the unit. Both are valid and widely used. There was no problem with the reply using TB instead TiB, until you made it. I get it in case when it really matters, but don’t see here to force using TiB instead. Both are valid and correct and there is no problem in this case.
