The most basic type of measurement in computers or memory storage systems, are bytes. Bytes are so small however, that usually the smallest unit of memory used in the modern computer systems are kilobytes. Kilobytes are equivalent to 1,000 bytes. Here is a chart to display the most used units in computers, and what they are equal to.

Bytes = Basic Unit

Kilobyte = 1,000 bytes

Megabyte = 1,000 kilobytes

Gigabyte = 1,000 megabytes

Terabyte = 1,000 gigabytes

Currently, modern computers have a max amount of storage of about 1 terabyte, and that is for a $1,000 plus computer. My computer has a total of 500 gigabytes of memory, or 1/2 1 terabyte. My computer cost $750.
