    SSD Capacity

    I assume that the answer to this is yes, but for the sake of being thorough: Do manufacturers still insist on expressing the capacity of SSD's in the same way they did traditional HDD's? I.E. in Gib instead of GB? If I wanted to figure out the actual formatted usable space on say a SDD...
