500 gigabytes = 500,000,000,000 bytes.

1 byte = 8 bits.

500,000,000,000 X 8 = 4,000,000,000,000 (4 trillion) bits or 4 terabits.

The 'bit' is the smallest unit of information ... sort of the atom of information ... and it can't be split into anything smaller. A byte is eight of these, so the smallest fraction of a byte is 1/8.

To play with metric prefixes:

-- tera... = 1 trillion

-- giga... = 1 billion

-- micro... = 1 millionth

-- 500 giga... = 500 billion

-- 500 giga... / 1 micro... = 500 billion million = 5 x 1017
