2. File size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

   Generally, a file system allocates space in blocks that are significantly larger than one byte. 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.

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 .

4. 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 ...

   1 byte: A number from 0 to 255; 90 bytes: Enough to store a typical line of text from a book; 512 bytes = 0.5 KiB: The typical sector size of an old style hard disk drive (modern Advanced Format sectors are 4096 bytes). 1024 bytes = 1 KiB: A block size in some older UNIX filesystems; 2048 bytes = 2 KiB: A CD-ROM sector

8. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

   File sizes are typically measured in bytes — kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes being usual, where a byte is eight bits. In modern textbooks one kilobyte is defined as 1,000 byte, one megabyte as 1,000,000 byte, etc., in accordance with the 1998 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard.

9. 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 .
