TBH I didn't realise I typoed GB, meant MB of course. Only just realised.

It actually happens quite regularly, kinda the same with HDD capacity where MB, GB and TB are also often mixed up with often funny results 😋
If only it were really the case 🤣 😜

This is probably early onset dementia or the years of ethanol abuse going to town, but to be honest - with HDD sizes, I actually catch myself having to think for a moment which is which in what system or generation.
I started off with a 40 MB Connor drive and own a 2.5" backup USB drive 100.000 times that size, so there's that.

I like jumpers.

I started off with a 6.4GB drive, but I have plenty <1GB HDDs left from my early dumpsterdiving days (and I mean like Quantum Prodrives etc) so there's ample opportunity to mix them up even though I don't mix them up that much at all actually.
But it can happen to the best of us 😋
