About Bits
The bit (b) is the fundamental unit of digital information - a single binary digit: 0 or 1. Coined by John Tukey in 1948; formalised by Claude Shannon. Physically realised as transistor states (SRAM/DRAM), magnetic domains (HDD), charge levels in NAND flash (MLC=2, TLC=3, QLC=4 bits per cell). Shannon entropy: a coin flip = 1 bit; a card drawn from a 52-card deck ≈ 5.7 bits. 1 bit = 1/4 nibble = 1/8 byte.
About Yobibytes
A yobibyte (YiB) = 2⁸⁰ bytes ≈ 1.21 × 10²⁴ bytes (IEC 80000-13) - the largest named binary byte unit (2008 edition); 2022 revision added 'ronbi' (Ri, 2⁹⁰) and 'quetti' (Qi, 2¹⁰⁰). At HAMR areal density (10 Tbit/inch² projected by 2030), 1 YiB would require ≈ 6.24 million km² of magnetic platter surface - modestly exceeding the area of Australia. World total storage in 2023 ≈ 0.00848 YiB. 1 YiB = 2⁸⁰ bytes = 1,024 ZiB.
