Most flash chips use 16 bit words rather than octets
and the main difference between platters and flash chips is that the former were conventionally quoted in decimal and the latter have always been quoted in base 2.

But apart from that you're ... well ... largely wrong but I doubt anybody really cares.

I'd care.
I was aware of base 2, but I went with using 8 as an example because that's what you'll actually see quoted, 8, 16, 32 etc. I'm always willing to be educated.
