One million of them.

Sadly, there is now some confusion over terminology of sizes in computers.

Historically, 1 kilobye = 1024 (2^10) bytes, and 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobyes (2^20 bytes).

However, disk drive manufacturers now use 1,000 bytes = 1 kilobyte, and 1,000,000 bytes = 1 megabyte.

It's annoying, and confusing.

1 Megabit per second = 0.125 Megabytes per second. More simply stated, at 1 megabit per second, 1 megabyte takes 8 seconds to transfer.
