Techopedia Explains Gibibyte
Gibibyte is related to gigabyte, which is equal to 109, or 1,000,000,000, bytes. Gibibyte comes before tebibyte and after mebibyte. It was created by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) but was deprecated in use in favor of the SI unit gigabyte. The IEC and ISO recommend the use of gigabyte since it uses real byte counting.
