About these units
Megabit (Mb)
A megabit equals 1,000,000 bits, a standard networking unit used to express data transfer rates. Internet speeds—both broadband and wireless—are typically quoted in megabits per second (Mbps). Because communication systems often care more about transfer rates than storage quantities, the megabit became a natural standard long before modern high-speed networks. The distinction between megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB) is crucial, as confusing the two leads to misunderstandings about download times. Megabits remain central to evaluating network performance, streaming quality, and bandwidth provisioning.
DVD (2 layer, 2 side) (DVD (2L, 2S))
The dual-layer, double-sided DVD provides the maximum DVD capacity: 17.1 GB. With two layers on each side, these discs offered exceptional storage for large software packages, high-definition video masters (before Blu-ray), and professional archival applications. However, they were rarely used in consumer markets due to cost, complexity, and the inconvenience of double-sided handling. They remain an interesting pinnacle of DVD engineering—pushing the medium to its physical limits.
