About these units
Nibble (nibble)
A nibble consists of 4 bits, exactly half of a byte. It is the smallest unit that can represent a single hexadecimal digit (0–F), which makes it essential in low-level data representation. Nibble operations arise in microcontroller design, bitwise arithmetic, encryption algorithms, and early computing architectures that manipulated data in 4-bit chunks. Although modern systems process much larger word sizes, nibbles remain conceptually important: digital logic circuits still group bits in fours for hexadecimal notation, instruction encoding, and debugging tasks. In many ways, the nibble serves as the bridge between binary and human-readable representations of digital information.
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.
