Why do we use bytes
2 minutes ago, natapper said:If we measured in bits it would just be large numbers. We would use 16Tb hard drives instead of 2 TB I dont see why it would be an issue. Its the true measurement of storage the computers understand and store data in
Computers store data in bytes at the smallest level. It requires at least one byte (8 bits) to represent a single character. Hence it is easier to say a letter equals one byte instead of 8 bits.
