Dvd (2 Layer, 2 Side)
A DVD (2 layer, 2 side) is a digital optical disc storage format capable of storing approximately 8.5 GB of data, with two layers on each side for increased capacity.
History/Origin
The DVD format was developed in the mid-1990s as a successor to the CD, introducing higher storage capacity and improved data transfer rates. The 2-layer, 2-side version was introduced to further enhance storage capabilities, becoming widely adopted in the early 2000s for data storage and multimedia applications.
Current Use
Today, DVDs are primarily used for media playback, data archiving, and distribution of movies and software, although their usage has declined with the rise of digital downloads and streaming services.
Gigabyte
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to one billion bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced in the 1970s as part of the binary prefix system, initially representing 2^30 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). Over time, it has also been used to denote decimal gigabytes of 10^9 bytes, especially in marketing storage devices.
Current Use
Gigabytes are widely used today to quantify storage capacity of computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer limits and file sizes in various applications.
