SI — 1,000,000,000 bytes or 10
definition commonly used by telecommunications and storage manufacturers.
GiB — 1,073,741,824 bytes, equal to 1024
in computer science, computer programming, and in the majority of computer
operating systems documentation. This measurement can be abbreviated as GiB
(gibibyte) to avoid ambiguity, as defined in IEC 60027-2.

IEEE
A hardware or software protocol—contained in the electronics of the
Interface
media controller and tape drive—that manages the exchange of data between the
tape drive and computer. The most common interfaces for small computer
systems are AT (IDE) and SCSI.
The International Organization for Standardization is an international non-
ISO
governmental standard-setting body made up of representatives from national
standards bodies.
Independent Software Vendor.
ISV
A tiny connector box that slips over two pins that protrude from a circuit
Jumper
board. While in place, the jumper connects the pins electrically. The jumper can be
moved to change electrical connections.
