Of course, it's 100 Gb ;) 


Just to be pedantic, I suspect you mean GB not Gb.  Traditionally
uppercase B means bytes, lowercase means bits.

100Gb is only about 12.5GB.

Just a minor annoyance to me, since I see people confusing units all the
time at $DAYJOB and it drives me nuts.


Hey, if you really want to drive them nuts point out that the proper binary prefixes are

kibi Ki kilobinary
mebi Mi megabinary
gibi Gi gigabinary

so it's 100GiB.
