Storage of a computer



The largest unit of storage in a computer

Every unit of data is in bit form.
Bit = 1 bit
Nibble (Nybble) = 100 bits
Byte = 1000 bits
Kilobyte = 10,000 bits
Megabyte = 100,000 bits
Gigabyte = 1,000,000 bits
Terabyte = 10,000,000 bits
Petabyte = 100,000,000 bits
Exabyte = 1,000,000,000 bits
Zettabyte = 10,000,000,000 bits
Yottabyte = 100,000,000,000 bits
Kibibyte = 1,000,000,000,000 bits
Mebibyte = 10,000,000,000,000 bits
Gibibyte = 100,000,000,000,000 bits
Tebibyte = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits
Pebibyte = 10,000,000,000,000,000 bits
Exbibyte = 100,000,000,000,000,000 bits
Zebibyte = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits

Then, finally comes the all mighty Yobibyte, which is a whopping 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits of data.
Basically, if scaled down into human language it would be the information capacity of the observational universe.
Every bit of known knowledge EVER recorded, translated into EVERY language and coppied 10,000,000 times over.

You will NEVER need this much amount of space for ANYHING ever.

Hope this was helpfull.
