    You absolutely can build 1000MB storage, literally almost all SSDs to my knowledge use SI units for storage (meaning 1TB = 1000GB). E.g. here, first link I found https://www.crucial.com/ssd/t705/CT2000T705SSD5

    under footnote 6. 1 GB = 1 billion bytes

      Good point, I was thinking in terms of addressing being base 2 - (so when you call a memory address you’re working in base 16 normally).

      Also that rather affirms the idea - selling less while disguising it as more seems a more likely genesis.
