Please also check bug #631638, as that is the bug which has been fixed (as seen on your screenshot only partially, as the chart units have not been changed.) Right now the chart units are wrong, and they should also be changed to Mb (Megabit), as that is the unit for measuring transfer rate [1].

Changed in gnome-disk-utility (Ubuntu):
status: New → Confirmed
importance: Undecided → Low
