FWIW, at least according to reference [2], there is a fairly _clear_ <br>
difference between GigAbytes (GB) and GigIbytes (GiB), as IMHO Michael P <br>
nicely expanded upon in reference [3].<br>
<br>
Although I didn't see any 128 GB -or- 128 GiB SSDs listed at the Central <br>
Computer Sales Promos > Weekly Special webpage at reference [4], I _did_ <br>
see a 120 GB SSD weekly special on sale for $22.95 (see reference [5].)<br>
<br>
In terms of possible "marketing tactics" size descriptions, we can see <br>
from [2] that the three remaining WDS120G2G0B SSDs listed at [5] for the <br>
SF store are really a lower-appearing 111.75 GigIbytes(GiB) in size and <br>
the eleven remaining WDS240G2G0A SSDs listed at [6] for the same store are <br>
really a lower-appearing 223.51 GigIbytes(GiB) in size.<br>
<br>
