Units of Storage / Memory Measurement

What are commonly used units of measuring storage?




Bit

Bit is a short for Binary Digit. 0 and 1 are the only binary digits. Bit is the smallest unit of measuring storage capacity. A bit can hold a 0 or 1.

Byte

A combination of 8 bits is called a Byte. A byte can hold one character.
1 Byte = 8 bits

Kilobyte (KB)

1024 bytes make one kilo byte. Kilo Byte is denoted by KB.
1 KB = 1024 Bytes

Megabyte (MB)

1024 Kilo bytes make one mega byte. Mega Byte is denoted by MB.
1 MB = 1024 KB

Gigabyte (GB)

1024 mega bytes make one Giga byte. Giga Byte is denoted by GB. 
1 GB = 1024 MB

Terabyte (TB)

1024 Giga bytes make one Tera byte. Tera Byte is denoted by TB. 
1 TB = 1024 GB

Petabyte (PB)

1024 Tera Bytes make one Peta byte. Peta Byte is denoted by PB. 
1 PB = 1024 TB

Exabyte (EB)

1024 Peta bytes make one Exa byte. Exa Byte is denoted by EB. 
1 EB = 1024 PB

Bus Topology Advantages Disadvantages

Bus Topology Bus topology is the simplest network topology . In bus topology , all computers in network are connected to a common communication wire. This wire is called BUS. Terminators are used at both ends of wire. Bus Topology is Cheap, easy to handle and implement. Bus Topology require less cable. Bus Topology is best suited for small networks. Working of Bus Topology with Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages of Bus Network Topology 1. It is very simple topology . 2. It is easy to use. 3. It needs small amount of wire for connecting computers. 4. It is less expensive due to small wire needed. 5. If one computer fails, it does not disturb the other computers in network. Other computers will continue to share information and other resources with other connected computers. Disadvantages of Bus Network Topology 1. Only small number of computers can be connected in a bus network . 2. Network speed slows down as the number of computer increases in b...
