The capacity of portable storage media ranges from the megabyte to terabyte level as of July 2014. Modern 'thumb' drives are in the gigabyte range while newer flash technologies have introduced terabyte level portability.

∙ 12y agoIts the capacity measured in BYTES,for example you can find a device written 8MB,this means it can hold ((8million (8BIT words)).SINCE a BYTE is( 8bit long) and Mega BYTE(MB) =1 million bytes.
bit means binary digits.

∙ 6y agoWell, different storage mediums can hold different quantities of bytes. The average hard drive, as of 2009, can hold about 500 billion bytes. A typical flash drive can hold 4 billion bytes. A CD can hold 700 million bytes. There is no set amount.

∙ 14y agoBy todays standards everything concerning memory (whether hard drive or RAM) is measured in Gigabytes. (I remember back in the 80's we were using kilobytes!! - WOW !)

How much memory does a storage device hold?
Depends on how many bytes it has
How many Bytes of storage for Sarah?
As one byte can hold one letter of the alphabet, to store the word "Sarah" would take 5 bytes.
What is the largest unit of information?
I would say a monoicosebyte which is an astonishing 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. This unit of storage will most likely never come up due to how large this unit of measurement is for storage. I bet that there isn't even a single device on earth that can hold this many bytes.
How many bytes can a CD hold?
Approx 700MB, or 700,000,000 bytes.
How many bytes per sector are there in a Gigabyte?
One Sector on storage media constitutes of 512 Bytes.

A 1.44-megabyte diskette can hold 1,440,000 bytes of information.
How many mega bytes can a CD hold?
100000000000 100000000000 100000000000
30 MB is equal to how many KB?
KB refers to kilobyte which is a unit of computer storage equal to 1,024 bytes. MB refers to megabyte which is a unit of computer storage equal to 1,048,576 bytes. 30MB equals 30,720KB.
