KiloBytes
A kilobyte is equivalent to 1,024 bytes, often used to measure the size of small files like text documents or icons. It’s the first notable step up from the byte, giving a more practical way to describe data that involves text, simple graphics, or small images. Understanding kilobytes helps when considering storage for email attachments, photos, and more.
PetaBytes
A petabyte consists of 1,024 terabytes, commonly used for data storage in large data centers, cloud storage solutions, and companies dealing with big data. It is a staggering amount of storage that can hold immense quantities of video, documents, and multimedia content, which is particularly valuable for enterprises like social media platforms and research institutions.
