Computer memory measurement units are used in measuring the file size of data.
The term Byte was invented by “Werner Buchholz” in June 1956 during the early design phase IBM Stretch computer, which had addressing to the bit and variable field length (VFL) instructions with a byte size encoded in the instruction. Source Wikipedia.
Many programming languages defined the data type as byte like C, C++, Java, etc.
In data transmission systems, the byte is defined as a contiguous sequence of bits in a serial data stream representing the smallest distinguished unit of data
Byte, is the smallest unit of computer storage and processing . A byte contains eight bits and each of it consist 0 or 1.
The Yottabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The prefix yotta indicates multiplication by the eighth power of 1000 or 1024 in the International System of Units (SI), and therefore one yottabyte is one septillion (long scale quadrillion) bytes.
The unit symbol for the yottabyte is YB. The yottabyte, adopted in 1991, is the largest of the formally defined multiples of the byte.
Yottabyte is largest unit of computer storage and it can store data up to 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 Bytes.
Units: KB,MB,GB,TB,PB,EB,ZB,YB
