Did you mean 20GB? Cause 20Gb = 2.5Gb

There is a difference between gigabytes and gigabits. 1 gigabyte (GB) = 8 gigabits (Gb)

The irony... Nobody talks about bits when it comes to storage, it's basically only used for transfer speeds. So it should be pretty easy to infer by the context.

Yes, and I think in the context, that is implied. I'm not a cable internet provider advertising "50 Mb" speeds and confusing people when they only get like 6MB.
