Storage Units
In this post , I will tell you about what is storage unit and are different storage units .
Storage unit is used to define about that unit of measurement how much information can you save in the storage device.
It is similar that When you purchase the milk from any milk store, you will measure in the unit called as liter.
Similarly in the computer , the storage device will store the information in the form of the storage unit.
The smallest unit of the computer ,is also known as the bit . It can be either 0 or 1.
so, when we combine 4 bits together , it is called as Nibble.
0, 1 - b - bit
4 bit- - - nibble
8bit - B - 1 byte or 1 octet or 1 character
1024B- KB - 1 KiloByte
1024KB- MB- 1 MegaByte
1024MB- GB- 1 gigaByte
1024 GB- TB- 1 TeraByte
1024 TB- PB- 1 PetaByte
1024 PB- EB- 1 ExaByte
1024 EB- ZB - 1 ZottaByte
1024 ZB - YB- 1 YottaByte
