Question
Droplet Transfer prefix using binary or decimal notation?

Is the “TB” Transfer listed on droplet pricing meant to represent the decimal notation for terra (10^12 or 1000^4), or the binary notation (1024^4)?
More simply does 3 TB mean 3,000,000,000,000 bytes or 3,298,534,883,328 bytes
The second being more appropriately labeled as 3 TiB (or Tebibytes).

I’m actually not 100% sure as it pertains to DigitalOcean, though most providers use 1GB = 1,000MB unless explicitly advertised otherwise, so 3TB would come out as 3,000GB.
@ryanpg - Care to chime in on this one?
