Gibibit

Gibibit

A gibibit (a contraction of giga binary digit) is a unit of information or computer storage, abbreviated as Gibit or Gib.

: 1 gibibit = 230 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits = 1,024 mebibits [ [http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html Definitions of the SI units: The binary prefixes] ]

The gibibit is closely related to the gigabit, which equals to 109 bits = 1,000,000,000 bits, but sometimes used to denote the gibibit value in computer technology slang.
