Data storage refers to the digital storage capacity of devices and media. The basic unit is the bit (binary digit), with 8 bits making up one byte. Storage capacities are commonly measured using decimal prefixes (kilo, mega, giga) or binary prefixes (kibi, mebi, gibi). Understanding data storage units is essential for managing digital information and choosing appropriate storage solutions.
