always bytes

There are generally 3 layers of block sizes between the file system and device:

1. physical     defined by the hardware device
2. logical              the smallest addressable unit used for the device
3. file system  ditto for the file system

So your numbers above are not the same item being represented.
They're all in bytes and represent different values 1,2,3 above
