About these units
Jaz 2GB (Jaz 2GB)
The Jaz 2GB doubled the capacity of the original Jaz drive, offering significant storage for video, audio, and engineering applications. It appealed to professional users pushing the limits of late-1990s computing—desktop publishing houses, video editors, and 3D modelers. Despite its innovation, the Jaz 2GB was ultimately overtaken by more reliable, cheaper technologies such as CDs, DVDs, and eventually USB flash drives. Jaz drives occupy a unique place in storage history as powerful but short-lived solutions.
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.
