New Units

Computer Science units are now based around the powers of 10

Powers of 10

The Bit

The Byte

Kilo Byte

Mega Byte

Giga Byte

Tera Byte

1 TeraByte = 1,000 GigaByte

Peta Byte

Symbol PB Power 10^15

Exa Byte

Symbol: EB Power: 10^18

Zetta Byte

Yotta Byte

Old Units

Units based around powers of 2, according to the spec you don't need to know these

Powers of 2

Kibi Byte

Mebi Byte

Gibi Byte

Tebi Byte

A tebibyte is a unit of data storage that equals 2 to the 40th power, or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. While a terabyte can be estimated as 10^12 or 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, a tebibyte is exactly 1,099,511,627,776 bytes.
