Only on the packaging of Hard Drives. They *sneakily* use actual
standard SI units.

In all other instances a MegaByte is 2^20 or 1048576 bytes. A KiloByte
is, btw, 2^10 or 1024 bytes.  A GigaByte is  2^30 or... where's my
calc? ... 1073741824 bytes.

This has pretty much been the standard for decades now.
