So any bits to bytes is based on 8 bites to 1 bytes.

Why did they make that rule? That what confuse all of us. I have never heard of kilobites until you mentioned. In fact, it was not easy to find by google when it keep correcting my spelling.
Yeah Many people are confused. You are not only the one.

USB High speed (USB 2.0)
480 Mbit/s
60 MB/s

Firewire 400 (IEEE 1394)
400 Mbit/s
50 MB/s

Firewire 800 (IEEE 1394b)
800 Mbit/s
100 MB/s


Megabit is referring to data transfer rates.

I like to said Mbit/s over Mb to avoid from the confuse. Never said mb/s or kb/s if you talk about Mbit/s or Kilobit/s
