Do you often convert between inherently binary units like RAM sizes and more appropriately decimal units like distances?

It would be annoying of one frequently found themselves calculating gigabytes per hectare. I don't think I've ever done that. The closest I've seen is measure magnetic tape density where you get weird units like "characters per inch", where neither "character" nor "inch" are the common units for their respective metrics.

I have no idea what that is supposed to have to do with anything.
