https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte discusses the definitions recognized by different standards organizations and history of bytes and derived units. I personally prefer the base-2 definitions despite the fact that they do not follow metric prefix naming. The standard metric prefixes would make more sense if 10-bit bytes were used (one byte == one decabit == 10 bits). That begs the question: Should we have metric bytes? |
