OCR J277 Specification Reference - Section 1.2 In this video we explain why computers use binary to store data. The difference between a bit, nibble, byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte and petabyte is explained. These are known as measurements of capacity, or how much data can be stored either in memory or on secondary storage devices.
