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", HD) (floppy (3.5" HD))

The 3.5-inch High Density (HD) floppy stored 1.44 MB, becoming one of the most iconic storage formats of the 1990s. HD floppies were ubiquitous—used for school assignments, office documents, driver disks, BIOS updates, and even early game installations. Their capacity was sufficient for word processing files, spreadsheets, and modest multimedia content of the era. Although minuscule by modern standards, the HD floppy revolutionized everyday computing by offering a cheap, standardized, nearly universal storage medium. Its influence persisted until USB drives and CDs supplanted it in the early 2000s.
