Give it 3 years, it'll sound natural.

It'll stay gig for a while. "I've got a 1500 gig hard drive." But eventually, that'll get too unwieldly. Eventually people will give in and say it properly, "I've got a 1.5 TB hard drive".
Of course, think of the rash of threads that we will have: "My 2.0 TB hard drive is only reporting 1.8 TB in Windows". Since hard drive manufacuters will continue to use the proper 1000^3 definition and Windows will continue to use the incorrect 1024^3 definition. The error will be a full 10% in the TB range.
