Best Answer

The smallest unit of space on a hard drive is a "bit". Eight bits make a byte, which is the basic unit. Half a byte is (appropriately) called a "nibble". One thousand and twenty-four bytes make up a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes make up a megabyte, 1024MB equals a gigabyte, and 1024GB equals one terabyte. We can't go much higher than a terabyte right now, but we may make larger hard drives in the future.
