storage                                      equal to (in bytes)
1 bit                                       0.125
1 nibble                                 0.5
8 bits                                      1
1 kilo byte                            1,024
1 Mb                                    1,018,576
1 Gb                                    1,073,741,824
1 Tb                                    1,099,511,627,776
1 Petabyte                         1,125,899,906,842,624
