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.

Floppy Disk (3.5", DD) (floppy (3.5" DD))

The 3.5-inch Double Density (DD) floppy disk typically held 720 KB of data and represented the evolution from earlier, more fragile 5.25-inch formats. Encased in a rigid plastic shell, 3.5" floppies provided improved durability, portability, and reliability. DD floppies became widely used in the late 1980s, particularly on early Macintosh and IBM-compatible computers. They were ideal for document storage, small software programs, and system utilities. Their limited capacity symbolized the constraints of early personal computing, forcing developers to design highly compact code and carefully manage file size. Despite their modest storage, DD floppies played a crucial role in early software distribution and data portability.
