About these units
Gigabyte (GB)
A gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes (2³⁰) in binary notation, or 1,000,000,000 bytes in decimal form. Gigabytes serve as one of the most common units of modern computing: RAM capacities, smartphone storage, software downloads, and video file sizes frequently range from a few GB to dozens of gigabytes. The gigabyte era represented a massive shift in capability—allowing high-resolution multimedia, complex software, virtual machines, and databases to flourish. While once enormous, gigabytes are now considered routine, illustrating the exponential growth of digital storage.
CD (80 minute) (CD (80 min))
The 80-minute CD expanded storage to 700 MB, offering a modest but meaningful increase over the 74-minute version. This capacity became the industry standard for audio production, software, and media distribution. The slightly denser data-spacing required careful calibration but proved reliable for most computer and consumer hardware. For many users, CD-R and CD-RW discs became a primary means of personal backups, music burning, and long-term storage before USB drives became widespread.
