About these units
Word (word)
A word is a unit of data whose size depends on the computer architecture, traditionally 16 bits but now often 32 or 64 bits. The word size determines the natural chunk of data a processor handles in a single operation, affecting register width, memory addressing, arithmetic precision, and overall system performance. As architectures evolved from early 8-bit systems to modern 64-bit CPUs, the meaning of "word" expanded too. Words are deeply tied to machine instructions, where addressing modes, opcodes, and data structures rely on word alignment. Thus, the word is both a conceptual and structural building block for computing hardware.
DVD (1 layer, 2 side) (DVD (1L, 2S))
A single-layer, double-sided DVD offers 9.4 GB, with 4.7 GB per side, requiring the user to physically flip the disc. Double-sided DVDs were ideal in early DVD-era box sets and archival applications, but their inconvenience—no label side, no artwork, and manual flipping—limited consumer adoption. They represent a transitional form of optical media designed to increase capacity before dual-layer technologies became mainstream.
