Description

This is pretty minor, but something I don't think should be too hard to address. 'GiB' could be interpreted as gigabytes, but 'MiB' definitely looks strange here (migabytes?), and both in fact refer to different units entirely:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte

In short, using GB and MB would be and look much better here.

I'm pretty sure that we actually are referring to Mebibytes and Gibibytes.

I had no idea that was the case. Thank you very much for clarifying!
