Not to get pedantic, but a gibibyte is 2^30 bytes (2^10 is a kibibyte). I'm quite sure you (and most of the rest of us) know this, just pointing it out for the sake of clarity. yep i spotted that when i was reading the mail back after i send it :) i kind of wanted to fix it but i assumed most would see its a typo and didnt wnat to spam.
the main point i wanted to convay was that nvdimm-p is being standarised by JEDEC and will be using there unit definitions rather then the IEC definitions typically used by block storage. thanks for giving me the opertunity to calrify :)
