Could someone explain the speed discrepancies with SATA?

I see Serial ATA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it as both GB and MB, but the numbers do not match. Are they just rounding?

IDE

SATA
Data transfers at the rate of 150MB/s to 600MB/s.

So, they (SATA) can technically go at the faster speed but are limited to the slower one?
