    Like many have already said, there is a difference in units when talking about actual storage and the storage on the label.

    I feel like some marketing team made the changes, because it is technically correct and “easier for normal people to understand”… But that makes it confusing when normal people plug it in so, that team should be thrown overboard.

    Edit: easier not earlier
