Bytes. A 300 gigabyte hard drive has 300 billion bytes of data it can store.
Kilobyte(KB) = 1000 bytes
megabyte(MB) = 1 million bytes or 1000 kilobytes
gigabyte(GB) = 1 billion bytes or 1000 megabytes
terabyte(TB) = 1 trillion bytes or 1000 gigabytes
petabyte(PB) = 1 quadrillion bytes or 1000 terabytes
Average hard drives hold around 80 gigabytes to 1.5 terabytes

∙ 15y agoThere could be multiple units of measurement for hard drive speed. There is the spindle speed, which measures how quickly the hard drive head can spin around the platters. Most modern desktop hard drives spin at 7,200RPM. There are higher-end drives that spin at 10,000 or 15,000RPM, but those are primarily for servers. Many modern laptop hard drives still spin at 5,400RPM, but older laptop hard drives spin at 4,200RPM. Another unit of measurement for hard drive speed is the interface speed, which is how fast the hard drive can transfer data to or from the rest of the computer. Most IDE drives are ATA-100 meaning they have a peak transfer speed of around 100MB/sec. A more modern drive would be Serial ATA, or SATA. SATA comes in a few different speeds: SATA-150 (150MB/sec), SATA-300 (300MB/sec), and SATA-3GB (3GB/sec).

When you buy a new Windows XP computer in what unit is the size of a typical hard drive measured?
When you buy a new Windows XP computer, in what unit is the size of a typical hard drive measured?
Why the capacity of a hard drive is measured in gigabytes?
Hard drive capacity can be measured in either gigabytes or terabytes. It depends on the amount of capacity it has. Hard drive capacity usually is defined by the largest unit of storage. For example a 2 TB drive usually is not referred to as a 2,000 GB drive.
Why is perimeter measured in units and area measured in sq units?
Because a perimeter is measured in linear units while an area is measured in square units.
What is a hard disk usually measured in?
Hard drive space is measured in bytes. Other units are simply built on the term byte, such as kilobyte (1000 bytes), megabyte (1000 kilobytes or 1 million bytes), gigabyte (1000 megabytes or 1 thousand million bytes) and terabyte (1000 gigabytes or 1 million million bytes).
Is the area measured in cubic units?
No, volume is measured in cubic units, area is measured in square units.
What is the term to allocation units related to a hard drive?
Clusters
