    just some corrections:
    Kibibyte is KiB (though Kilobyte is kB, i believe because a capital K in SI is meant for a constant, though KB is used sometimes when people are using it to mean 1024 bytes, but never 1000);
    and TiB is Tebibyte instead of Tibibyte, since it’s a variant of Terabyte (first two letters are the same)

    also another fun fact: windows uses KB, MB, GB, etc with the old 1024 format, and that causes some issues like a 2 TB drive will show up as 1.82 TB in windows, because they’ve procrastinated adding an i to TiB for almost three decades
