Data-size conversions help when checking download limits, storage capacity, backup sizes or mobile data caps, where marketing units and operating-system units don't always agree.
Typical values: 0.5 KB is about 4000 bit, and 5 KB works out to roughly 40000 bit. Because the ratio is fixed at 8000, you can scale any amount linearly — doubling the kilobytes doubles the bits.
Drive makers count in powers of 1000 while many systems display powers of 1024, which is why advertised and reported capacities differ.
