Note that you can use M and G in your blocksize parameters. i.e. bs=1M
will work. From the man page:
BLOCKS and BYTES may be followed by the following multiplicative suf-
fixes: xM M, c 1, w 2, b 512, kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M
1024*1024, GB 1000*1000*1000, G 1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E,
Z, Y.
