It's odd though. Metric prefixes are always lower case, so GB isn't valid metric. Further, outside of storage manufacturers attempting to inflate their numbers when does is ever make sense to mix power of ten with 8 bit bytes? Networking is always in bits per second, not bytes.

Edit: Disregard the metric bit but I think the rest still stands.

I don't understand what you mean. kA is a perfectly valid SI unit.

I don't understand what you don't understand. Where did I object to kilo-amperes?

		I misread. GA or GW is a perfectly valid SI unit as well, however.
