It's said that "k" stands for kilo, which is 10^3, and "K" stands for...
?, which is 2^10... Anyway - b is definetely for bit, and B - byte.
Some weeks ago I already commented the KB/s ambiguity .
kilobytes should be KB
kilobits should be Kb
as
kibibit should be Kib
you could see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units
But here still ambiguous ! kilo should be K and not k + the / should not
be used !
kilograms is Kg not kg
The notation KB/s is popular, but not scientific !
The / (devisor notation) in KB/s is really not a scientific notation
Kbps is scientific ;-)
Kbps is for Kilo bits per second .
But that definitions.
The best would be to write in plain text as
byte <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte> per second
bit <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit> per second
kilobyte <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte> per second
megabit <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabit> per second
kibibit <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibit> per second
or a mix as
nnnKB/s (kilobyte <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte> per second) ...
