#capacity.indefinite_quantity (computer science) the amount of information (in bytes) that can be stored on a disk drive; "the capacity of a hard disk drive is usually expressed in megabytes"
supertype: indefinite_quantity an estimated quantity
subtype: formatted_capacity__formattedcapacity (computer science) the usable capacity of a disk drive; the amount of space that is left after the sector headings and boundary definitions and timing information have been added by formatting the disk
subtype: unformatted_capacity__unformattedcapacity (computer science) the total number of bytes on a disk including the space that will be required to format it
subtype: computer_memory_unit a unit for measuring computer memory
subtype: bit a unit of measurement of information (from Binary + digIT); the amount of information in a system having two equiprobable states; "there are 8 bits in a byte"
subtype: parity_bit__parity (computer science) Used in an error detection procedure in which a bit (0 or 1) added to each group of bits so that it will have either an odd number of 1's or an even number of 1's; e.g., if the parity is odd then any group of bits that arrives with an even number of 1's must contain an error
subtype: nybble__nibble a small byte
subtype: byte a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one character of alphanumeric data) processed as a single unit of information
subtype: sector.computer_memory_unit the minimum track length that can be assigned to store information; unless otherwise specified a sector of data consists of 512 bytes
subtype: block.computer_memory_unit (computer science) a sector or group of sectors that function as the smallest data unit permitted; "since blocks are often defined as a single sector, the terms `block' and `sector' are sometimes used interchangeably"
subtype: bad_block__badblock (computer science) a block (usually one sector) that cannot reliably hold data
subtype: allocation_unit a group of sectors on a magnetic disk that can be reserved for the use of a particular file
subtype: partition (computer science) the part of a hard disk that is dedicated to a particular operating system or application and accessed as a single unit
subtype: word.computer_memory_unit a word is a string of bits stored in computer memory; "large computers use words up to 64 bits long"
subtype: kilobyte__Kilobyte__k__K__kb__kB__kb__Kb__KB a unit of information equal to 1024 bytes
subtype: megabit $('<' #unit_of_measurement replaced by #computer_memory_unit)$ one million bits
subtype: megabyte__Megabyte__Mb__MB a unit of information equal to one million (1,048,576) bytes
subtype: gigabyte__Gigabyte__G__Gb__GB a unit of information equal to one billion (1,000,000,000) bytes or one thousand megabytes
subtype: terabyte__Terabyte__T__Tb__TB a unit of information equal to one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) bytes
