About these units

The megabyte (MB) is a metric unit of data storage, equal to 1,000,000 bytes.

The kilobyte (kB) is a metric unit of data storage, equal to 1,000 bytes.

Going the other way, 1 kilobyte = 0.001 megabytes. Storage has two competing definitions: drive makers count a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes, while operating systems often show gibibytes of 1,073,741,824 bytes. That 7% gap is why a '1 TB' drive shows up as 931 GB. Both families are included below so you can compare them directly.
