- Snippet from Wikipedia: Units of information
In digital computing and telecommunications, a unit of information is the capacity of some standard data storage system or communication channel, used to measure the capacities of other systems and channels. In information theory, units of information are also used to measure information contained in messages and the entropy of random variables.
The most commonly used units of data storage capacity are the bit, the capacity of a system that has only two states, and the byte (or octet), which is equivalent to eight bits. Multiples of these units can be formed from these with the SI prefixes (power-of-ten prefixes) or the newer IEC binary prefixes (power-of-two prefixes).
Bits: Binary Digit = Bit, 1024-bit, 512-bit, 256-bit, 128-bit, 72-bit, 64-bit, 32-bit, 24-bit, 16-bit, 8-bit, 4-bit; Units of information: Metric bit units (kilobit, megabit, gigabit, terabit, petabit, exabit, zettabit, yottabit); IEC bit units (kibibit, mebibit, gibibit, tebibit, pebibit, exbibit, zebibit, yobibit). Byte, Word (computer architecture). (navbar_bits - see also navbar_bytes)
Bytes: Byte = 8-bits (1 Character), 1024-byte, 512-byte, 256-byte, 128-byte, 64-byte, 32-byte, 16-byte, 8-byte, 4-byte; Units of information: Metric byte units (kilobyte - KB, megabyte - MB, gigabyte - GB, terabyte - TB, petabyte - PB, exabyte, zettabyte - ZB, yottabyte); IEC byte units (kibibyte, mebibyte, gibibyte, tebibyte, pebibyte, exbibyte, zebibyte, yobibyte). Bits, Word (computer architecture). (navbar_bytes - see also navbar_bytes)
