Calculating Data Storage

When referring to storage space, we use the terms bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes
(MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB).

One kilobyte is a little more than one thousand bytes, specifically 1,024. A megabyte
represents more than a million bytes or 1,048,576. A gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes. A
terabyte is 1,099,511,627,776. The exact number is gained by taking 2^n power.

CDs have a data storage capacity of approximately 700 MB. DVDs have a data storage
capacity of approximately 4.3 GB on a single-layer disc, and approximately 8.5 GB on a
dual-layer disc. BDs have a storage capacity of 25 GB on a single-layer disc, and 50 GB on
a dual-layer disc.

Sample:

If a 20 KB file is stored in a 1 MB folder.

A file is 20 KB in size
1 KB = 1,024
20*1,024 = 20,480 bytes in a 20 KB file

1MB = 1,048,576 bytes


1,048,576/20,480 = 51.2

 How many 60 KB jpg files can be stored on a 2 MB folder in your hard drive?
60 KB = 61,440 2 MB = 2,097,152

2,097,152 / 61,440 = 34.1

Approximately 34 jpg files

 How many 5 MB mp3 files can be stored on a 1 GB flash drive?


1 MB = 1,048,576 5 MB = 5,242,880

1 GB = 1,073,741,824 1,073,741,824 / 5,242,880

Approximately 204 mp3 files

 How many 750 MB avi files can be stored on a 4.3 GB DVDR?
