FAQ- Understanding File Sizes
Q1. What are file sizes in order?
File Size from smallest to largest in order:
- Bit (b)
- Byte (B)
- Kilobyte (KB)
- Megabyte (MB)
- Gigabyte (GB)
- Terabyte (TB)
- Petabyte (PB)
- Exabyte (EB)
- Zettabyte (ZB)
- Yottabyte (YB)
Q2. Which is bigger: MB or KB?
MB is bigger than KB.
Q3. How many Gigabytes are there in 1 Terabyte?
There are 1024 GB in 1 TB.
Q4. How long does it take to transfer 1tb?
It would take just over 4 hours and 45 minutes to transfer the data at the theoretical 60 MB/s speed.
Q5. How fast is SSD transfer?
HDDs have a copy speed of 30 to 150 MB per second (MB/s), whereas standard SATA SSDs have a 500 MB/s copy speed. The top speeds achieved by more recent NVMe SSDs are between 3,000 and 3,500 MB/s.
Q6. How many Bits are there in a Byte?
There are 8 bits in a Byte.

The memory of a Computer is any physical device that is capable of storing information whether it is large or small and stores it temporarily or permanently. For example, Random Access Memory (RAM), is a type of volatile memory that stores information for a short time, on an integrated circuit used by the Operating System.
Memory can be either volatile or non-volatile. Volatile memory is a type of memory that loses its contents when the computer or hardware device is switched off. RAM is an example of a volatile memory i.e. if your computer gets rebooted while working on a program, you lose all the unsaved data. Non-volatile memory is a memory that keeps its contents saved even in the case of power loss. EPROM((Erasable Programmable ROM) is an example of non-volatile memory.
