Bit
A bit (short for "binary digit") is the smallest unit of measurement used to quantify computer data. It contains a single binary value of 0 or 1.
Kilobyte
In decimal system kilo stands for 1,000, but in binary systems, a kilo is 1,024 (2 to the 10th power). Technically, therefore, a kilobyte is 1,024 bytes, but it is often used loosely as a synonym for 1,000 bytes.
Megabyte
Megabyte (MB) is a data measurement unit applied to digital computer or media storage. One MB equals one million (10^6 or 1,000,000) bytes. The binary mega prefix is 1,048,576 bits or 1,024 Kb.
Gigabyte
A gigabyte is 109 or 1,000,000,000 bytes. One gigabyte (abbreviated "GB") is equal to 1,000 megabytes and precedes the terabyte unit of measurement. While a gigabyte is technically 1,000,000,000 bytes, in some cases, gigabytes are used synonymously with gibibytes, which contain 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024 x 1,024 x 1,024 bytes).
One exabyte (abbreviated "EB") is equal to 1,000 petabytes and precedes the zettabyte unit of measurement.
The exabyte unit of measure measurement is so large, it is not used to measure the capacity of data storage devices. Even the storage capacity of the largest cloud storage centers is measured in petabytes, which is a fraction of one exabyte.
Nibble
The nibble is a simple collection of 4 bits. And the relation between bits, bytes, and nibbles is given below-
4 bits = 1 nibble.
4 bits = 1 nibble.
Byte
In most computer systems, a byte is a unit of data that is eight binary digits long. A byte is the unit most computers use to represent a character such as a letter, number.
Kilobyte
In decimal system kilo stands for 1,000, but in binary systems, a kilo is 1,024 (2 to the 10th power). Technically, therefore, a kilobyte is 1,024 bytes, but it is often used loosely as a synonym for 1,000 bytes.
Megabyte
Megabyte (MB) is a data measurement unit applied to digital computer or media storage. One MB equals one million (10^6 or 1,000,000) bytes. The binary mega prefix is 1,048,576 bits or 1,024 Kb.
Gigabyte
A gigabyte is 109 or 1,000,000,000 bytes. One gigabyte (abbreviated "GB") is equal to 1,000 megabytes and precedes the terabyte unit of measurement. While a gigabyte is technically 1,000,000,000 bytes, in some cases, gigabytes are used synonymously with gibibytes, which contain 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024 x 1,024 x 1,024 bytes).
Terabyte
A Terabyte (TB) is a measure of computer storage capacity that is approximately 2 to the 40th power, or 10 to the 12th power, which equals approximately a trillion bytes. A Terabyte is more precisely defined as 1,024 gigabytes (GB). However, thanks to modern technology, the average computer hard drive now has more than 1 TB of hard disk drive (HDD) capacity.

Petabyte
A petabyte (PB) is 1015 bytes of data, 1,000 terabytes (TB) or 1,000,000 gigabytes (GB). A petabyte is a measure of memory or data storage capacity that is equal to 2 to the 50th power of bytes.
Dell EMC and IBM are just some of the big names that produce petabyte-scale storage for use in data centres, often handling Big Data workloads.

Exabyte
An exabyte is 1018 or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytesOne exabyte (abbreviated "EB") is equal to 1,000 petabytes and precedes the zettabyte unit of measurement.

Zettabyte
One zettabyte (abbreviated "ZB") is equal to 1,000 exabytes and precedes the yottabyte unit of measurement. ... A single zettabyte contains one sextillion bytes, or one billion terabytes. That means it would take one billion one terabyte hard drives to store one zettabyte of data

Yottabyte
A yottabyte is 1024 or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
One yottabyte (abbreviated "YB") is equal to 1,000 zettabytes and is the largest SI unit of measurement used for measuring data.
A single yottabyte contains one septillion, or one trillion times one trillion bytes, which is the same as one trillion terabytes. It is also a number larger than any human can comprehend. There is no need for a unit of measurement larger than a yottabyte because there is simply no practical use for such a large measurement. Even all the data in the world consists of just a few zettabytes
