In the decimal system established by the International System of Units (SI), a gigabyte represents 10^9 (one billion) bytes. Drive and flash-media vendors advertise capacity using this metric definition. The binary value of 1 073 741 824 bytes actually refers to a gibibyte (GiB). Values such as 1 024 000 000 bytes or 10 000 000 bytes do not match either the official metric or binary standards for a gigabyte.
