Storage Units Description

Bit units

  • Bit (bit): Smallest storage unit, usually denoted by b. 1 Byte (B) = 8 bits.
  • Kilobit (kb): 1 kb = 1,000 bit. Used for network bandwidth.
  • Kibibit (Kib): 1 Kib = 1,024 bit. Binary measurement.
  • Megabit (Mb): 1 Mb = 1,000,000 bit. Used for network rates.
  • Mebibit (Mib): 1 Mib = 1,048,576 bit.
  • Gigabit (Gb): 1 Gb = 1,000,000,000 bit.
  • Gibibit (Gib): 1 Gib = 1,073,741,824 bit.
  • Terabit (Tb): 1 Tb = 1,000,000,000,000 bit.
  • Tebibit (Tib): 1 Tib = 1,099,511,627,776 bit.
  • Petabit (Pb): 1 Pb = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bit.
  • Pebibit (Pib): 1 Pib = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bit.
  • Exabit (Eb): 1 Eb = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bit.
  • Exbibit (Eib): 1 Eib = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bit.

Byte units

  • Byte (B): Basic storage unit, 1 B = 8 bit. Used for file size and memory.
  • Kilobyte (KB): 1 KB = 1,000 B. Used in advertised storage capacities.
  • Kibibyte (KiB): 1 KiB = 1,024 B. Common in OS and memory.
