MB and MiB is generally the same thing, except MiB is the correct abbreviation to use (really).

Definition

Because of inconsistencies in the use of SI-derived prefixes such as kilo- and mega-, the exact number can be any one of the following:
1,048,576 bytes (1,0242, 220): This definition is used for nearly all discussions of computer memory (as computer addresses are naturally powers of two, making it efficient to manufacture memory in power-of-two capacities) and file storage. As of 2005, most software uses this definition to express storage capacity (e.g. file size).
1,000,000 bytes (1,0002, 106): This is the definition recommended by SI and IEC. It is used primarily in networking contexts and most storage media, particularly hard drives and DVDs. This definition of 'mega-' as a SI prefix is consistent with the other SI prefixes, and with many other uses of the prefix in computing, such as CPU clock speeds or measures of performance.
1,024,000 bytes (1,024+1,000): This definition occurs rarely. It was used in a small number of storage contexts, most notably the "1.44 MB" (actually 1,474,560 bytes, of which only 1,457,664 bytes are usable on a Windows computer), and the "3.5-inch" (actually 90 mm) high-density floppy diskette.

Several attempts to resolve these inconsistencies have been proposed, most notably the standard created by the IEC to redefine 1,048,576 bytes as a "mebibyte". This standard has been adopted by several organizations, such as the NIST and IEEE. See Binary prefix for more information.
