Explanation:

When it comes to data storage, it’s important to be realistic about your needs. Are you a smaller business using a simple but versatile solution like DAS? Or is your enterprise considering the benefits of SAN and NAS? Regardless of which solution you end up working with, it all depends on how much data you actually need to store and access. Whether you’re accessing the cloud or a local hard drive, the amount of data that your business interacts with will ultimately determine what type of technology you’re going to to need.

It can be easy to get lost in the world of data storage terminology, particularly when discussing data storage units of measurement. What’s the difference between bits and bytes? Megabytes and gigabytes? Terabytes and kilobytes? This resource will help break down these concepts into easily manageable, byte-sized pieces.

Data Storage Units Chart: From Smallest to Largest

Unit Shortened Capacity

Bit b 1 or 0 (on or off)

Byte B 8 bits

Kilobyte KB 1024 bytes

Megabyte MB 1024 kilobytes

Gigabyte GB 1024 megabytes

Terabyte TB 1024 gigabytes

Petabyte PB 1024 terabytes

Exabyte EB 1024 petabytes

Zettabyte ZB 1024 exabytes

Yottabyte YB 1024

Answer:

Unit of measurement in computer

Explanation:

  • A computer is an Electronic device that work based on unit of measurement for storing the required data.
  • The basic unit of the information is known as BIT. The full form of BIT is Binary Digit.
  • It will basically only take two values such as 0 or 1. The other unit of the measurement is derived from the BIT values only.
  • For instance, let us consider that,

The 8 BITS is called as Bytes. Here, bytes are defined by only a 8 digit number.

A byte will represent the character for typologically symbols, the numbers and the letters.

now, let us learn from the data storage unit charts for knowing the values from the smallest to the largest in size.

They are as follows:

  • The unit shortened capacity of the data storage:
  • BIT b1  or 0 (which is on or off)
  • Byte B – 8 bits
  • Kilobyte KB – 1024 bytes
  • Megabyte MB – 1024 megabyte
  • Terabyte TB – 1024 gigabytes
  • Petabyte PB – 1024 terabytes
  • Exabyte EB- 1024 petabytes
  • Zettabyte ZB- 1024 Exabyte
  • Yottabyte YB- 1024 gigabyte

Therefore, we can conclude that computer can only be operated using the unit of measurement with data storage capacity.
