A gigaquad is a measurement of information in Federation computers. Gigaquad measurements are used for amounts of information exceeding one billion quads. While Federation computers still use binary code in some capacity, they also are known to use trinary code. This is much more advanced than ancient computers which used bits (limited to a "one" or "zero" state) and bytes as small information measurements, so it is impossible to compare the bytes with quads.
