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.

Zip 100 (Zip 100)

The Zip 100 drive stored 100 MB, offering a dramatic leap over floppy disk capacity. Released by Iomega in the mid-1990s, it became extremely popular for backups, graphics projects, and transporting large files. Graphic designers, office workers, and early multimedia users relied heavily on Zip drives during a period when hard drives were small and CDs were not yet convenient for rewritable storage. Zip disks represented an era of transitional storage—but also gained notoriety for the infamous "click of death," a mechanical failure that could render disks unreadable. Despite this, Zip drives were a defining feature of 1990s computing.
