About Bytes
The byte (B) is the fundamental addressable memory unit - 8 bits, 256 values (0-255). Standardised by the IBM System/360 (1964). UTF-8 encodes ASCII in 1 byte; Unicode in 1-4 bytes. One byte = 1 ASCII character, 1 RGB channel value, 1 PCM audio sample (8-bit). All mainstream CPU architectures (x86-64, ARM64, RISC-V) increment addresses by 1 byte. 1 byte = 8 bits = 2 nibbles.
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.
