Might be a silly question.
Ok so the size of those drives , lets pick the 500GB one
I would presume that this is the MB not MiB, so its actually around 477GiB we all understand this.

ok so the tx speeds, is the 1,050MB/s MB or MiB?

My son is now looking for a USB SSD as apparently you can play PS4 games from one on a PS5, freeing up some of the onboard SSD. Don't know if that could be made into a benchmark of some sort.

ok so the tx speeds, is the 1,050MB/s MB or MiB?

With my ex NAS engineer hat on: Storage has always been in 10^3 based SI standard units of k, M, G etc

In RAM which is in chips with 2^n address lines using GiB still makes some sense to keep the numbers nice and round. Lengths of tape, areas of disk and drum have never had such considerations.

So I would hope it is MB/s on a storage benchmark, or it is wrong. Same goes for networking.
