About these units

Byte (B)

Definition: A byte (B) is a unit of digital information made up of 8 bits, enough to store a single character.
History: The term was coined at IBM in the 1950s; the 8-bit byte became standard with early microprocessors.
Current use: Bytes are the fundamental unit for file sizes and memory in computing.

Kilobyte (KB)

Definition: A kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes in the binary convention used by most operating systems.
History: Early computing adopted powers of two, so a "kilo" came to mean 1,024 rather than 1,000.
Current use: Kilobytes measure small files such as documents and configuration data.

Megabyte (MB)

Definition: A megabyte (MB) is 1,024 kilobytes, or 1,048,576 bytes in the binary convention.
History: It became a household term with floppy disks and early hard drives.
Current use: Megabytes measure photos, songs, and application sizes.

Gigabyte (GB)

Definition: A gigabyte (GB) is 1,024 megabytes, the common unit for storage and memory capacity.
History: Gigabyte-scale storage became affordable for consumers in the early 2000s.
Current use: Gigabytes measure RAM, phone storage, and monthly mobile data allowances.

Terabyte (TB)

Definition: A terabyte (TB) is 1,024 gigabytes, used for large drives and data sets.
History: Terabyte hard drives reached consumers in 2007 as storage density grew.
Current use: Terabytes measure hard-drive capacity, backups, and large media libraries.

Petabyte (PB)

Definition: A petabyte (PB) is 1,024 terabytes, a unit for very large-scale data storage.
History: The term gained prominence with the growth of cloud computing and big data.
Current use: Petabytes describe the storage of data centers, scientific archives, and major web services.

Bit (bit)

Definition: A bit is the smallest unit of digital information, representing a single 0 or 1.
History: The concept was formalised by Claude Shannon in 1948 as the basic unit of information.
Current use: Bits underpin all digital data; network speeds are measured in bits per second.

Kilobit (Kb)

Definition: A kilobit (Kb) is 1,024 bits, often used to express data rates rather than storage.
History: It became common for describing modem and early network speeds.
Current use: Kilobits per second describe low-bandwidth connections and audio bitrates.

Megabit (Mb)

Definition: A megabit (Mb) is 1,024 kilobits, mainly used for data-transfer rates.
History: Megabit-per-second links spread with broadband internet.
Current use: Megabits per second is the standard way to advertise internet connection speeds.

Gigabit (Gb)

Definition: A gigabit (Gb) is 1,024 megabits, used for high-speed data rates.
History: Gigabit Ethernet standardised gigabit-per-second networking from 1999.
Current use: Gigabits per second describe fast fibre internet and data-center networking.
