#computer_memory_unit a unit for measuring computer memory
supertype: #unit_of_measurement #capacity.indefinite_quantity (pm)
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
