Nice, but please be aware of the prefixes. SI specifies a lower case 'k' as 1'000 prefix. It doesn't make sense to use an upper case 'K' as binary prefix, while the decimal Mega (M and following) prefixes in SI are uppercase. Furthermore, there are REAL binary prefixes since a few years. Do it the (newest and recommended) "IEC" way: KB's are calculated decimal; power of 10 (1000 bytes each) KiB's are calculated binary; power of 2 (1024 bytes each). The same goes for MB, MiB and so on...
