  2. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    The file system allocates a number of blocks that together provide enough space to hold the file data. Unless the file fits exactly into the aggregated blocks, then some storage space allocated to the file is unused by the file. A file's allocated storage size is sometimes referred to as file size or alternatively with qualification such as ...

  3. Binary prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix

    However, the capacity was also quoted "1.2 MB", [41] which was a hybrid decimal and binary notation, since the "M" meant 1000 × 1024. The precise value was 1.2288 MB (decimal) or 1.171 875 MiB (binary). The 5.25-inch Apple Disk II had 256 bytes per sector, 13 sectors per track, 35 tracks per side, or a total capacity of 116 480 bytes.

    "Each module can store 29.17 million bytes or 58.35 million packed decimal digits ... total on-line storage capacity is 233.4 million bytes" "Each 11-disc pack (20 surfaces) has a storage capacity of 29 megabytes; maximum storage capacity with the largest version using a ninth drive as a spare) is 233 400 000 bytes." [55]

  5. Disk sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector

    A cluster is the smallest logical amount of disk space that can be allocated to hold a file. Storing small files on a filesystem with large clusters will therefore waste disk space; such wasted disk space is called slack space. For cluster sizes which are small versus the average file size, the wasted space per file will be statistically about ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

    A system with 8 possible states, for example, can store up to log 2 8 = 3 bits of information. Other units that have been named include: Base b = 3 the unit is called "trit", and is equal to log 2 3 (≈ 1.585) bits. [3] Base b = 10 the unit is called decimal digit, hartley, ban, decit, or dit, and is equal to log 2 10 (≈ 3.322) bits. [2] [4 ...

  9. Megabyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte

    The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. Its recommended unit symbol is MB. The unit prefix mega is a multiplier of 1 000 000 (10 6) in the International System of Units (SI). [1] Therefore, one megabyte is one million bytes of information. This definition has been incorporated into the International System of ...
