SI vs IEC (Decimal vs Binary)

SI (decimal) units use powers of 1000: 1 KB = 1000 bytes, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. IEC (binary) units use powers of 1024: 1 KiB = 1024 bytes, 1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes. Hard drive manufacturers use SI, while operating systems often report in IEC units, which is why a "500 GB" drive shows as ~465 GiB.
