Not sure if this helps, but there are actually two different measures used for computer storage sizes. The first is the technical one, which is abbreviated as kB, mB, and gB, where 1 mB = 1024 kB. The second is actually what marketing uses, and what most components advertise their "space" as, where they round everything down from 1024 to 1000, and those are abbreviated KB, MB, and GB. This is why a 1.5TB hard drive shows up on your computer as 1.44 tB. Ram vendors sometimes do the same thing.
