Gigabyte (10^9 Bytes)
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9 bytes).
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced as part of the decimal system of data measurement, aligning with SI prefixes, to standardize data sizes. It became widely adopted with the rise of digital storage devices in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Gigabytes are commonly used to measure data storage capacity in computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer rates and file sizes in various applications.
Floppy Disk (3.5", Ed)
A 3.5-inch floppy disk with Enhanced Density (ED) capacity used for data storage and transfer.
History/Origin
The 3.5-inch floppy disk was introduced in the late 1980s as a portable storage medium, replacing earlier 5.25-inch disks. Enhanced Density versions emerged in the 1990s to increase storage capacity, but the format was eventually phased out in favor of more modern storage solutions.
Current Use
The 3.5-inch floppy disk (ED) is largely obsolete, with minimal use today primarily for legacy systems, data recovery, or nostalgic purposes. It has been replaced by USB drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage.
