Memory Unit?
Memory unit is the amount of data that can be stored in the storage unit. This storage capacity is expressed in terms of Bytes.
Binary Megabytes
In data storage when describ memory size, a Kilobyte is 2^10, or 1024 bytes. Operating system determines the size of the drive using the computer's binary powers of two definition
- 1 byte (B) = 8 bits (b)
- 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes
- 1 Megabyte (MB) = 2^20 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
- 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
- 1 Terabyte (TB) = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
Decimal Megabytes
Capacity measurements are usually expressed in kilobytes (thousands of bytes), in megabytes (millions of bytes), or gigabytes (billions of bytes), however, due to a mathematical. so when you buy a hard drive, the vendor defines it using the decimal powers of ten definition of the "Giga" prefix.
- 1 byte (B) = 8 bits (b)
- 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 10^3 bytes = 1,000 bytes
- 1 Megabyte (MB) = 10^6 bytes = 1,000,000 bytes
- 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 10^9 bytes = 1,000,000,000 bytes
- 1 Terabyte (TB) = 10^12 bytes = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
