File size is a measure of how much data a computer file contains or, alternately, how much storage it consumes. Typically, file size is expressed in units of measurement based on the byte. By convention, file size units use either a metric prefix (as in megabyte and gigabyte) or a binary prefix (as in mebibyte and gibibyte). [1]
A single-layer DVD+R disc can hold about 4.7 GB. A dual-layered DVD+R disc can hold about 8.5 GB. A single-layer Blu-ray can hold about 25 GB. The largest Nintendo Switch cartridge available on the market holds about 32 GB. A dual-layered Blu-ray can hold about 50 GB. A triple-layered Ultra HD Blu-ray can hold about 100 GB.
The size of the English Wikipedia can be measured in terms of the number of articles, number of words, number of pages, and the size of the database, among other ways. As of 11 December 2024, there are 6,922,669 articles in the English Wikipedia containing over 4.7 billion words (giving an average of about 688 words per article).
These prefixes are more often used for multiples of bytes, as in kilobyte (1 kB = 8000 bit), megabyte (1 MB = 8 000 000 bit), and gigabyte (1 GB = 8 000 000 000 bit). However, for technical reasons, the capacities of computer memories and some storage units are often multiples of some large power of two, such as 2 28 = 268 435 456 bytes.
As of 2021, 33.997 GB (=33,997,900,893 bytes) across four billion words, implying 8.3 bytes/word. ASCII uses 1 byte/character which in turn implies 8.3 characters/word. However, this includes wikimarkup, and 5 char/word plus one for space or punctuation mark is standard, so 6 characters/word will be assumed.
