Do you understand the difference between Gb and GB? 128Gb = 16GB. I didn't know Plextor made 16GB SSDs.

You mean i write Gb and GB right? it's a mistake, all should be Gb..

They shouldn't all be Gb. The name of the drive and the title of this article, Plextor M5 Xtreme 128GB because the drive is 128GB. If you want to say the proper capacity size in Gb then it would be a Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme 1024Gb.

128GB = 128 billion bytes (for disk manufacturers)
128Gb = 128 billion bits (for disk manufacturers)
1 byte = 8 bits

The OP should do a web search using: GB vs Gb and see how sources explain the correct syntax for kilo, mega, giga, tera bits and bytes.

Gigabyte - Wikipedia is a good starting point.
