This is a common standard when it comes to defining units of storage (not just in AWS).

It's from a third party (that happens to be a partner), but there is a good overview on the differences and how it all came about here: https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2020/12/09/storage-units-within-vmware-cloud-on-aws/. There is lots of literature on this subject out there.
