Frequently Asked Questions
How is Mebibytes to Kibibytes calculated?
The factor is derived by reducing both units to exact bit counts, then applying the source and target prefix definitions.
Can I use this for storage size rather than transfer rate?
Yes. This cluster converts data size only. If you need a per-second result, use the data-rate cluster instead.
