Kilo Bytes
Mega Bytes
Giga Bytes
Tera Bytes
a byte is really smal,
a kilo byte is a thousand bytes
a mega byte is a thousand kilo bytes
a giga byte is a thousand mega bytes
a tera byte is a thousand giga bytes
Bytes = b
Kilo Bytes = Kb
Mega Bytes = Mb
giga bytes = Gb
tera bytes = Tb
a text document might be like 10kb
a music file might be 4mb
a video might be like 30mb
a typical hard drive is like 250gb for a laptop
and 500gb for a desktop
Tera Bytes are only used in super computers or servers
although they are appearing in desktops
some of the larger hard drives are 1.5Tb or 1500 gb
some older laptop have hard drives ranging from 20gb to 80gb
a typical USB Flash drive is 2gb
a new iPod ranges from 8gb to 120gb
older ones come in sizes as small as 512Mb aka 0.5gb
Ram of a computer can range from as little as 32mb in an older computer
and as much as 8gb in some desktop computers in the price range of $800+

What else can I help you with?
Is there some software that will automatically move data from one disk to another after it is full?
AnswerThis question really confused me. Normally, if the disk is full, you will get a disk full message asking you to insert another disk. You can't fill a disk beyond it's capacity. And you can't add a file to disk if the file will exceed the capacity of a disk. Again you'll get the disk full message. You can click on the My Computer icon and manually move files from one disk to another.AnswerWhen you say disk do you mean CD or do you have more than one hard drive? If you mean to move data from hard drive there's a great free utility called FileMyster that you can use to copy or move data from one drive to another.See discussion

What is the disk formatting used for?

How many disks are there in a typical disk stack?
A typical disk stack in a hard drive usually consists of 2 to 5 disks. However, some high-capacity drives may contain up to 10 disks or more. The exact number can vary based on the drive's design, capacity, and intended use. Each disk in the stack is used to increase the storage capacity and improve data retrieval speeds.
What does disk encryption protect you from?
Disk encryption protects the data on a hard drive from being read by someone that isn't authorized. Disk encryption works by converting the information on the drive to unreadable data.
Which has the largest potential for disk capacity a CD DVD floppy drive or zip drive?
Zip drive, floppy capacity is usually only ~1.4GB
How data is stored onhard disk drive?
cmos
What are steps to take when copying data from one CD to another?
Assuming you only have 1 CD drive, you will need copy the data to your hard disk (or possibly a flash drive), remove the original disk from the CD drive, put the blank in, and burn the data that you copied to your hard disk.
