You can use my NSValueTransformer subclass if you like:

@interface FileSizeTransformer : NSValueTransformer {

}

+ (Class)transformedValueClass;
+ (BOOL)allowsReverseTransformation;
- (id)transformedValue:(id)value;

@end

@implementation FileSizeTransformer
+ (Class)transformedValueClass;
{
    return [NSString class];
}

+ (BOOL)allowsReverseTransformation;
{
    return NO;
}
- (id)transformedValue:(id)value;
{
    if (![value isKindOfClass:[NSNumber class]])
        return nil;

    double convertedValue = [value doubleValue];
    int multiplyFactor = 0;

    NSArray *tokens = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"B",@"KB",@"MB",@"GB",@"TB",nil];

    while (convertedValue > 1024) {
        convertedValue /= 1024;
        multiplyFactor++;
    }

    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%4.2f %@",convertedValue, [tokens objectAtIndex:multiplyFactor],value];
}

@end
