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.
Floppy Disk (5.25", HD) (floppy (5.25" HD))
The 5.25-inch HD floppy stored 1.2 MB and represented the final evolution of the large-format floppy. HD versions were common in late-1980s IBM business systems and were used to distribute larger software packages and operating systems. However, the rise of the more compact and durable 3.5" floppy soon overshadowed the HD 5.25" format. Their rapid decline highlights how the industry moved toward miniaturization and higher reliability in portable storage.
