"Per second per second" sounds like a speech problem, but in Physics, velocity (or speed) is distance per second. If the velocity (speed) increases, then the acceleration is in units of distance per second (or velocity) per second.

An example might make this more clear--

If we jumped off a roof, gravity would make us accelerate. Your velocity at the end of the first second is 10 meters per second. Your velocity at the end of the next second is 20 meters per second, the end of the third would be 30, etc.

So each second we fall the velocity increases (accelerates) by ....drum roll....

10 meters per second per second. Which is the acceleration due to gravity ON THE EARTH. (actually 9.8 m/s/s or 9.8 m/s2, but close enough).

We generally use the word "frequency" to describe regularly occurring events. We quantify specific frequencies using Hertz (Hz), which specifies how many cycles-per-second there are. For high-frequencies we use the term kilohertz (KHz) for thousands of cycles-per-second, megahertz (MHz) for millions of cycles-per-second, gigahertz (GHz) for billions, and so on.

MB per second is a expression of speed, just like mph means the amount of miles in one hour, MB per second means the amount of Megabytes that can bee processed in a second

"470 meters per second" is a speed, not an acceleration. Assuming you mean "470 meters per second square", that is the same as a change of 470 meters per second every second. Just multiply by the number of seconds to get the change in speed."470 meters per second" is a speed, not an acceleration.
