The capacity of portable storage media ranges from the megabyte to terabyte level as of July 2014. Modern 'thumb' drives are in the gigabyte range while newer flash technologies have introduced terabyte level portability.

What is the largest unit of information?

I would say a monoicosebyte which is an astonishing 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. This unit of storage will most likely never come up due to how large this unit of measurement is for storage. I bet that there isn't even a single device on earth that can hold this many bytes.

How many characters can a storage medium of 256 gb hold?

The number of characters a 256 GB storage medium can hold depends on the encoding used. For example, if we use UTF-8 encoding, which typically takes 1 to 4 bytes per character, a rough estimate would be around 256 billion bytes. This translates to approximately 256 billion characters if we consider an average of 1 byte per character, but the actual number may vary based on the specific characters stored. Thus, the range could be anywhere from about 64 billion to 256 billion characters, depending on the character set used.

How many texts can a 5GB hold?

The number of texts that a 5GB storage can hold depends on the average size of each text message. A typical SMS text message is around 160 characters and can be roughly estimated to be about 140 bytes. Therefore, 5GB (which is approximately 5 billion bytes) can hold about 35 million text messages, assuming no other data is stored.
