Among the staff have asked me how can know the size of the storage, sometime if he want to buy external harddisk. So to answer the question after this, i will asking him to read my blog :P

If you thought you knew enough about computers and could challenge any byte sizes, think again. How much do you know about data sizes … your hard disc is 60 Gigabytes, the supercomputer analyzed 2 terabytes of data in a short time … but what is beyond that?

  • 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
  • 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
  • 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
  • 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
  • 1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
  • 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte
  • 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
  • 1000 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte
  • 1000 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte – that is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes

So ideally and more accurately, it should be like :

1,024 Byte = 1 Kilobyte (KB)1,024 Kilobyte (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)

1,073,741,824 Bytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)

1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 Megabyte (MB)
