Hate to revive an old thread but thought I'd post this for anyone who's still confused about the difference between MB, KB, MiB, KiB, etc.

The *true* definitions: https://xkcd.com/394/

For myself, the relatively recent (10 years ago) adoption of the KiB (kibibyte? gimme a break) naming convention is just goofy. If they were going to do that they should have left kilobyte with its original use in base-2 and given the silly kibibyte name to the hard-drive manufacturers' marketdroid base-10 kilobyte.

Then again no-one asked me, oddly.
