Bit
Binary Digit a single “bit” can store one of two values: 1 or 0
Nibble
4 bits i.e. 0110
Byte
8 bits i.e. 11010101
“bps”
Bits per second
1000 bits
1 Kilobit (1Kb)
b =
bits
B =
Bytes (8x as many bits)
1 million bits =
1 Megabit (Mb)
1 million bytes =
1 Megabyte (MB)
1 billion bits =
1 Gigabit (Gb)
1 billion bytes =
1Gigabyte (GB)
1 trillion bits =
1 Terabit (Tb)
1 trillion bytes =
1 Terabyte (TB)
