  2. Hard disk drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

    As of 2018, HDDs were forecast to reach 100 TB capacities around 2025, [39] but as of 2019, the expected pace of improvement was pared back to 50 TB by 2026. [40] Smaller form factors, 1.8-inches and below, were discontinued around 2010. The cost of solid-state storage (NAND), represented by Moore's law, is improving faster than HDDs.

  3. Megabyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte

    In this convention, one thousand and twenty-four megabytes (1024 MB) is equal to one gigabyte (1 GB), where 1 GB is 1024 3 bytes (i.e., 1 GiB). Mixed 1 MB = 1 024 000 bytes (= 1000×1024 B) is the definition used to describe the formatted capacity of the 1.44 MB 3.5-inch HD floppy disk , which actually has a capacity of 1 474 560 bytes .

WDC then provides rights to Toshiba, [62] allowing it to re-enter the 3.5-inch desktop hard disk drive market. [63]

  7. 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 is unused. A file's allocated storage size is sometimes referred to as file size or alternatively with qualification such as size on disk.

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...
