Section 1 Obj3.B - Units of Storage

The document outlines various units of storage, including bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes. It explains that a bit is the smallest unit of storage with two possible values, while a byte consists of 8 bits and is the basic unit of information in computing. Additionally, it provides examples of storage capacities for different file types and media formats.

bit is the smallest unit of storage that has two

A
possible values: 0 and 1 (binary digits) 0 represents
an off state 1 represents an on state The more bits a
processor can use, the faster it can compute and the more
memory it can access

Byte is the basic unit of

A
information in computer
storage and
processing. A byte consists
of 8 binary digits (bits),
each of which consists of a 0 or 1.
(Originally, a byte was any string of
more than one bit that made up a
simple piece of information like a
single character. Thus, for example,
there were four- or six-bit bytes, but eventually the standard settled on eight
bits.) The string of bits making up a byte is processed as a unit by a computer;
bytes are the smallest operable units of storage in computer technology. A byte
can represent the equivalent of a single character, such as the letter B, a
comma, or a percentage sign, or it can represent a number from 0 to 255.
● KB, MB, GB - A
kilobyte (KB) is 1,024
bytes. A megabyte
(MB) is 1,024
kilobytes. A gigabyte
(GB) is 1,024
megabytes. A
terabyte (TB) is 1,024
gigabytes.
