Units of Measurements in Storage Data to be displayed in Base 10

It would be greatly helpful for the Resource Unit Billing teams and IBM user group to see the option of selecting the Storage Metrics display using Base 10, in addition to Base 2 that currently exist.

    I'd like to see this idea extended to allow for the setting the display as either: TiB/TB or GiB/GB.

    Base-2 works for me.

    It would be nice to have a global setting whereby once could choose to view all Storage Insights capacity values as either base 10 (GB/TB) or base 2 (GiB/TiB).

    I agree. Displaying decimal TB capacity use would be helpful for tracking usage against utility agreements. Today we have to convert what is displayed manually which is time consuming and subject to errors.
