(sorry no native speaker) In base 10 an order of magnitude is 10x. Two orders of magnitude would be 100x. Numbers of the same order of magnitude have the decimal point (comma in EU) in the same place. 300GB is an order of magnitude larger than 30GB. Sometimes, I've seen computer scientists use binary orders of magnitude. I.e. 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x. I'm not sure if this is generally accepted or not.
