About these units

Byte (B)

A byte consists of 8 bits, forming the standard grouping used in computing for representing characters, numbers, and machine instructions. This 8-bit size became dominant due to hardware design choices in early microprocessors, especially the IBM System/360 architecture. Bytes allow computers to represent values from 0 to 255, enabling ASCII encoding, color values, file metadata, and vast amounts of structured data. The byte is the basis for nearly all storage units—kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes—and remains the fundamental digital "counting unit" for memory, disk space, and network transfers.

DVD (2 layer, 1 side) (DVD (2L, 1S))

A dual-layer, single-sided DVD stores 8.5 GB using a semi-transparent layer that allows the laser to focus at two depths. This innovation enabled longer movies, higher-quality video, and special editions packed with supplemental content. Dual-layer DVDs became standard for commercial video distribution and professional data storage. Although burning DL DVDs at home was initially slow and expensive, they played a crucial role during the transition to higher-capacity optical storage.
