Zip 100
Zip 100 is a data storage unit used to measure the capacity of storage devices, equivalent to 100 bytes of digital information.
History/Origin
The Zip 100 unit originated from the development of the Zip 100MB removable disk storage system in the late 1990s, where it was used informally to denote small data capacities in bytes for specific technical contexts.
Current Use
Today, Zip 100 is rarely used in practical applications; it serves mainly as a historical reference or in specialized technical discussions within data storage and digital measurement contexts.
Kilobyte
A kilobyte (kB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bytes in the decimal system or 1,024 bytes in the binary system.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobyte' originated in the early days of computing to represent data sizes, initially based on the binary system (1024 bytes). Over time, especially with the adoption of the decimal system for storage devices, the definition has shifted to 1,000 bytes for certain contexts, leading to some ambiguity.
Current Use
Today, 'kilobyte' commonly refers to 1,000 bytes in storage device marketing and data transfer contexts, while in computing and programming, it often still denotes 1,024 bytes. The context usually clarifies the intended meaning.
