About Gibibyte (GiB)
Exactly 1,073,741,824 bytes (1,024 MiB), the gibibyte is the binary equivalent of the gigabyte. This is why a '256 GB' SSD shows about 238 GiB of usable space in your operating system -- the drive's advertised capacity uses decimal gigabytes, but the OS displays binary gibibytes.
About Gigabit (Gb)
Equal to one billion bits, the gigabit is used for high-speed network backbone connections, enterprise ethernet (1 GbE, 10 GbE), and fiber-to-the-home broadband. Gigabit ethernet has been the standard for wired LAN connections since the late 2000s, and 10 Gbps connections are becoming common in data centers.
