    But bits is the correct unit.

    Speed is measured in bits, storage is measured in Bytes (unless you are Microsoft)

    Your argument you be like saying 'why say a car that can do Kilometres per hour when it is really going cubic kilometres per hour.

      Not really, since bits and bytes represent the same dimension of data.

      Your argument is like saying “why say a car can do km/h when it is really m/s”
