What Requires one byte of storage?
8 digits of binary code (either 0s or 1s) for instance 00101001 each digit takes up one bit, there are 8 bits in a byte. Usually, a byte holds 1 character, either a letter or #
Which data type typically requires only one byte of storage?
Boolean data type usually requires only 1 byte, because it represent only 1 of 2 possible values: true or false, which is represented as 1 or 0, so only 1 byte is needed.
How large is a character of text in terms of computrt storage?
1 byte
Is terabyte the largest unit of storage?
No. There is no limitation on size. A Googalplex of byte storage is 1 byte with a hundred zeros after it, and this is thought to be a minimalistic quantity in futuristic technology. Who knows, if any, what the limitations will be.
The largest storage devices commonly available today are able to store?
1 byte
Which is smaller megabyte or byte?
A byte is smaller than a megabyte.1 bit = one "on" or "off" in a binary computer or storage medium.1 byte = 8 bits.1 kilabyte = 1,000 bytes, or 8,000 bits.1 megabyte = 1,000,000 bytes.
Which byte is found on a hard drive is it megabyte or gigabyte?
A byte is the basic unit of storage. A megabyte refers to 1 million bytes, a gigabyte is 1 billion bytes. These are the SI standards.
How much storage is 1 gigabyte on a hard drive?
One gigabyte (GB) is 1,024 megabytes (MB) or 10,48,576 kilobytes (KB). In honesty, that's very low storage for a computer. However on most portable devices it is an average amount of storage space.
What is the capacity of the biggest hard drive available today?
Currently, commercial computers (sold at hardware stores to normal customers) mostly contain hard disk that have a capacity around 500 gb, for desktops, and 120gb for notebooks. The 500gb could sometimes even be 1TB for desktops IMPROVED: As of this response (7/21/2010) the largest HDDs in production are 1.5 TB for 3.5" and 4.5 TB for external/array packages. However technology is in prototype with up to 4.5 TB 3.5" available relatively soon (within a couple years). The largest memory modules in commercial production are 16 GB DDR2 sticks, though only 4GB sticks are common for end-users. The largest SSDs available are currently around the 500 GB mark, and rediculously expensive. The largest EEPROMs are 64 MB single-chip The largest SRAM caches are 8 MB single-chip The highest commercial density storage is Blu-Ray with 25 GB per layer (50 GB dual-layer), but with HVDs and PSDs on the way. The largest tape drive is an astounding 12 TB 14.5" tape from IBM The largest Flash single-chip module is 512 MB (of course much bigger can be made combining chips, as almost all flash devices do) Largest SD card is 64 GB Largest single-CPU cache combination structure is 12,928 KB Largest CPU register bank is 4096 bits Largest HDD buffer is 32 MB Largest sequential tape memory is 1 GB Largest video card is 8 GB And that's all I know for the moment. (Whew, that took some research!)
Difference between bits and bytes?
A bit is a single 1 or 0. A Byte is 8 bits.
How much memory is needed to store 1 character?
one character = 1 byte write abcd......z in notepad and save it to your desktop in filename xyz.txt Now right click on file xyz.txt and click on property, u will notice that file size will be 26 bytes...because we have 26 characters in english letter, and computer requires 1 byte per character. space also requires 1 byte
Why is a byte the smallest bit of useful data?
Bit (b) and Byte (B) is entirely different. Bit is the smallest storage unit in computer science. 8 Bit (8b) = 1 Byte (1B) In normal working, when you press any key, it covers atleast 1 Byte of space. Means if you will type ABC, it will cover 3B, so that we consider byte as a smallest unit of useful data.
