Frequently Asked Questions

A bit (short for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data and has a value of 0 or 1. A byte is composed of exactly 8 bits.
This is due to the difference between Decimal and Binary calculation. Hard drive manufacturers use Decimal (1KB = 1,000B), while OS manufacturers use Binary (1KB = 1,024B).
After a Terabyte (TB) comes a Petabyte (PB), followed by an Exabyte (EB), Zettabyte (ZB), and Yottabyte (YB).
