The kibibyte is a the unit of data transfer rate. The binary prefix kibi means 210, or 1024; therefore, 1 kibibyte per second is 1024 bytes per second. The unit symbol for the kibibyte per second is KiB / s.
The mebibyte per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix mebi (symbol Mi) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 8 × 220, and therefore 1 mebibyte per second = 8 × 220 byte per second = 1048576 byte per second. The mebibyte per second has the unit symbol MiB/s.
