The smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk is called a sector.
It is called a block (or sector). The size of the block varies depending upon the size of the disk, advanced preferences (the size of files normally being used on that disk), and the filesystem being used. They normally run from 512Bytes to 64KiB. As disk capacity continues to grow, look for even larger block sizes to come :-)

The smallest unit of measurement used to describe the storage capacity of a computer is called a bit. It is a binary digit that can represent either a 0 or a 1, and is the basic building block of all digital data.
The smallest storage access unit on an IDE hard drive is a sector.
A unit of storage refers to the smallest amount of data that can be accessed, processed, or stored by a computer system. This unit can vary in size and typically includes measurements such as bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes. It is used to quantify the capacity of storage devices or the amount of data being processed.
In digital imaging, a pixel is a single point in a raster image, or the smallest addressable screen element in a display device; it is the smallest unit of picture that can be represented or controlled

a byte is abasic storage unit in memory. when application program instructions and data are transferd to memory from storage devices. byte addressable memory refers to memory address that is accessed one byte (8 bits) at a time as opposed to 2 byte(16 bits), 4 byte(32 bits) or 8 byte(64 bits) addressable memory.
