    80,000,000 bits – In 1985 a 10 MB harddisk cost US$710, [5] equivalent to $2,011 in 2023. 98,304,000 bits – capacity of a high-resolution computer monitor as of 2011, 2560 × 1600 pixels, 24 bpp 50 – 100 megabits – amount of information in a typical phone book

  3. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    Due to typical file system design, the amount of space allocated for a file is usually larger than the size of the file's data – resulting in a relatively small amount of unusable storage space for each file, called slack space or internal fragmentation.

  4. Megabyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte

    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. [5] Randomly addressable semiconductor memory doubles in size for each address lane added to an integrated circuit package, which favors counts that are ...

  6. Byte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte

    The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. 1 byte (B) = 8 bits (bit).Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer [1] [2] and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.

  7. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    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 ...

  9. Binary prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix

    A binary prefix is a unit prefix that indicates a multiple of a unit of measurement by an integer power of two.The most commonly used binary prefixes are kibi (symbol Ki, meaning 2 10 = 1024), mebi (Mi, 2 20 = 1 048 576), and gibi (Gi, 2 30 = 1 073 741 824).
